Netball World Championship Singapore 2011

The 2011 Netball World Championships in Singapore is one of the current crop of events Sportsnet Holidays is most excited about. The Singapore Tourist Authority have been great and are right behind the comp and getting international fans to the event. We have been in touch with a lot of the National Netball Comps and there is a real buzz building. Sportsnet Holidays have our first bite of the cherry out there as of this week. We have released 4 night Singapore Netball packages with flights and with out flights as well as the full 9 night Netball World Championship packages again with and without flights. Not sure if it will turn out to be group bookings from clubs friendship groups or individuals, we will have to wait and see. I think netball, bit of shopping, nice hotel & maybe a few nights on one of the islands close by like Tioman sounds good. Well its great that the teams have the Netball World Champs packages out their for 2011(did I really say 2011, yikes).

AFL Travel 2010

AFL season 2010 is two weeks in & we have our Offical AFL Grand Final Onseller codes. Thinking about the highlights for me as a sports traveller this year I think they will be the traditional AFL ANZAC Day clash which has competition this year from the Melbourne based NRL Game carrying the same name. The AFL MVP which is run by the AFL Players Association and is getting bigger every year with whole, “player celebrity focus &WAGS phenomena” & of course the AFL Grand Final which I can’t believe has been on sale before the AFL Premiership has even fired up. What is really adding a new dimension this year to the AFL home and away series is that the Dogs & Saints will up there but the interstate clubs with all the player & manager changes could be any where. Anyway we have put a lot of work in to season 2010 at Sportsnet Holidays and the AFL Travel Packages are out there and most importantly the boss is not winning the office footy tipping comp (which in any case would be unAustralian, please note: bosses & poms dont win office footy comps)
