UPDATE 1 – November 22, 2024

Registrations – have been coming in steadily and we have approximately 35 people registered so far, comprising of some individual registrations and a couple of team registrations. It is also very positive that we have numerous enquiries coming thru as well.
For those of you who have sent through your registration’s you can expect to receive an email with confirmation details.

Rules – we have confirmed we will be following the rules of AFL 9s including the latest updates to the rules – please see attached

Travel Insurance – I want to stress the importance of adequate travel insurance.
March is cyclone season which can cause flight disruptions should we be unlucky so you want to be covered for that.
As well as having suitable medical coverage should it be needed.
NOTE: Final registrations will require proof of Travel Insurance.

Accommodation – there is a wide variety of accommodation options in and around Port Vila and March is a quiet time of the year so there should be plenty of availability and good prices.
If you are not sure feel free to email me or WhatsApp me and I am happy to pass on my local knowledge.
We are very happy to announce that Holiday Inn Vanuatu are supporting our event with a deal for accommodation, please check https://vanuatu.holidayinnresorts.com/
Use PROMOCODE: U9HIRV24 and email Booking Request to: reservations.vanuatu@ihg.com

We will be in contact with everyone to find out where you are staying so we can arrange transport to and from the field.

Tours and Things to Do – we do have a great network locally and if you want to arrange to do anything while you here we would appreciate it if you contact us in the first instance to try and help you.
