Are the Victorian Titles being run this coming weekend?

It's Monday...

I am not asking about conditions, just is it going to happen presuming condition are OK?
Being run over two days+one spare its a fair chance that at least one day will be dive-able so asking for info (or where I can find info) so I can organise accommodation.
Thankyou

Yes State titles are planed for the weekend, to be based out of Apollo Bay. We have the 3 days as options. Kennett, blanket bay, suger loaf, gray river was mentioned to me as a possible sight. Will try and give a bit more warning on weather conditions, still a little early but it's looking dive able at this stage so fingers crossed. I know a lady that has 3 houses down there, nothing special but pretty cheap. Can call her if need, just let me know

OK, thanks Murray. Can you message me your mobby number - my phone spent a day swimming in the bilge of Jay Schmidt's boat.

This comp will run this weekend with day 1 being Saturday. Meet in Apollo Bay at the car park near Tourist Information (Between Tourist info and Life saving club) at 7.00. Final decision on location will be made then. At this stage it could be Kennett River.Day 1 will count towards the SFD club aggregate and the combination of day 1 and 2 will make up the state titles.
Please be punctual.
Sorry I cannot make this one. Have fun and dive safe.
