Yep... look at last years costs...

£7.00 per night for a single Man Tent
£10.00 per night for a Two Man Tent
£20.00 per night for a Four man tent

Plus 3 quid per additional person, I know we got it cheaper cus the showers never turned up. But considering the economic down turn if it all works out cheap then that to me is great.

£10 pp pn is excellent value. Have you looked at the prices of other campsites? Where else are you going to get an excellent week end of fun for £20 (OK food and petrol on top)

We will get use of the showers, electicity, water and a landlord happy to have 100 odd bikers on his land!

There will be other stuff provided too but you'll have to wait and see about that

The rideout costs you no more than your own petrol. If you don't want to camp you don't have to. If you want to stay somewhere else, more or less expensive, you can.

Up to you really

Noones arguing Gid. Clearly Messie has gone out of her way to search this out

what you fail to understand is the yorkies are from halifax............ you can get a week in a caravan for £10 up there, go out every night to the cinima, fish supper and still have change.

£2000 for use of a field does seem a tad expensive, and how many showers are there? enough to cope with 100 bikers?

Lol very true

I know the standard of living is a tad cheaper up north so we're probably just not used to it, what seems a tad over expensive to us no doubt seems a right bargain for those of you in the area. Not your fault clearly, maybe it's just us being stingy students but on top of the fuel to get down there and extra for bits and bats it all adds up. NOT that I'd suggest you'd change arrangements, tis just my tuppenceworth. Please don't think we're giving you hassle, tis just how we feel

Considering that many wont bother with the showers....

From memory there were only about half a dozen shower stalls at AR07 and there were no problems - even with many other non-.org people staying there too.

All in all the costs are reasonable, and I'm looking forwards to it.

£10 pppn is a bargain. Considering what we get for that and the fact that it is a chance for us all to gather together.

It's also some time until the money has to be handed over , I think even I can save £20 plus some for food and fuel between now and then!

As Gid said (I know it's odd to agree with him but he said summat sensible! ) don't let this descend into another AR argument/bitching session.

Messie and whoever else is involved have gone out of their way to get this sorted. Let's not have a repeat of last years plans. ie A fully organised event that ended up being totally changed. Although it did end up being excellent.
