Hi, kelong kakis :
In a few days, Terence will let us know the bank account number to which we will be able to make our payments towards the kelong trip on 19/20 April 2008.
At the moment, 63 people have registered for the trip. The coach to/from Tg Leman Jetty is able to carry only 40 passengers, which means 23 people will have to find alternative land transport. We can hire smaller vehicles for 10 to 12 persons, but the cost per person is higher. I also believe some of you may prefer to drive up on your own, or are able to ‘tumpang’ others who are driving up.
Could those who have registered for the trip please indicate (by posting a comment here) whether you need land transport to/from Tg. Leman Jetty, or whether you will be making the trip with your own transport?
We will be collecting S$100 per person who require land (coach, minibus) transport, and S$75 for those who are driving up or have buddies to ‘tumpang’ them.
We hope that this amount is enough to pay for the cost for the trip. Any money collected in excess will be refunded. In the unlikely event that the amount collected is insufficient, we trust that those going will not mind topping up the difference.
The S$100 will cover the cost of :
-
Transport by coach/minibus to & from Tg Leman Jetty;
-
Entrance fee to the Tg. Leman Jetty;
-
Stay at the Hotboys Kelong (including meals)
Meanwhile, Zen of Hotboys Kelong has provided the following clarifications to the questions some of you raised:
Beds
Bunk beds will be provided, with mattresses, etc.
Toilet Facilities
Let’s just say that the facilities are the type where denizens of the deep will be waiting to consume – directly – what the human body rejects.
First Aid Kits
Basic First Aid kits will be available
Drinks
Free flow of coffee, tea and drinking water will be provided
Sea Transport (safety)
I have been assured that life jackets will be available. The boats used are safe, in good condition and will not be overloaded.
Cost of Optional Activities, Purchases and Rentals
A limited number of fishing rods and hand lines will be available for rent.
Fishing hooks, sinkers, lines, etc will be available for sale.
While activities such as mahjong, carrom, island hopping, etc are provided at no additional cost, a number of optional activities have to be paid for.
Please note that the S$100 / S$75 each person pays does not include the cost of such optional rentals / purchases / activities.
You may want to familarise yourselves with the kelong and its optional rentals / purchase / activities by visiting http://www.kelongfishing.com/index.asp.
Travel Insurance
Those requiring travel insurance are advised to purchase the insurance on their own.
Terence :
Could you handle the collection and keeping track (who is paying and for whom) of payments, or assign someone else to manage this aspect of the trip?
Thanks.
