The collections tour will be followed by a TAASA Guided Garden Tour from 12 to 1.30pm. \n  \nPhoto: Cowra Japanese Garden\nMembers will need to arrange their own transport and accommodation which should be booked well in advance given the popularity of the Matsuri Festival. It is recommended that members arrive on Friday 25 September. We can assist members to pool transport and recommendations can be provided for restaurants. If there is sufficient interest\, we will organise a group dinner on the Saturday evening. For further information please email Karen Byatt via admin@taasa.org.au. \nCost: $110 includes entry on both days to the Garden and Cultural Centre and the TAASA guided tours of the Cultural Centre followed by the Gardens on the Sunday. \nIf you have previously lodged an Expression of Interest please now make your booking. \nPlease make bookings by 21 August.  \nAn email will be sent to everyone who has booked with further details of arrangements in the last week of August.
