Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

Si - many, if not most, of the people who voted for that date, also voted for other dates.

Starting a new poll will confuse many, and leave out many who thought they'd done what they needed to do.

I think many people see an alternative to camping as essential.

Are they, well they are if you want to stay in them I guess. I know that the majority normally camp. But it would be interesting to know how many people utilised the bunkhouses for AR10.

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

I'm judging it on all the discussions in threads relating to the AR11. One of them in the PM regional, made it clear, people wanted alternatives to camping. Judging by the popularity of wigwams(yes I know its a different event) in the GMs, theres a lot that use them, also upon reading last years threads for the AR10, I am only assuming this alternate to camping is very popular.
I too would be interested in how many people would use the bunkhouses. Also on the same token perhaps those that used the hotel for B&B at AR10 would possibly be going for bunkhouses, as there aren't many B&B rooms on site. How many people used the facility at AR10?

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

I think the hotel, hostel rooms and others were quite polular for AR10. I seem to remember someone saying the place was full.

Maybe GG has the figures?

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

For me, Proper accommodation is essential. It would be my intention to book B&B as soon as the date is known.

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

So that date is cancelled affecting the majority vote due to the fact the bunkhouses are not available. How many poeple were bunking down in there anyway?

I think that it should still be a goer for that date.

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

Well it doesn't matter now does it. The decision has been made. Date withdrawn. Like it or lump it.

Whatever!!!!

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

oiiii....I aren't the one that cancelled the vote on the poll, nor did I ask for it to be cancelled......WHICH is clear to see

''not sure how this affects our voting

Discuss''

is what I said.

Re: 7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.
 

Can I just chuck in a request for calm... all that we're saying is that the bunks aren't available on that date. If that is a dealbreaker for people who've voted for that weekend, then we'll try and find alternatives that they can make work. I understand there is a youth hostel nearby that we can investigate, and I'm sure that isn't the only alternative in the area.

Good point...didn't think of that!
