Default Rain Rain, Go Away... the backup plan!

Right everyone, seeing as the weather looks UTTERLY POO

PLAN A
I'm going to do an anti-rain dance to clear it all up in time.



... No? Right ok,

PLAN B
I'm looking into sorting a marquee - subject to cost, availability and the campsite owner allowing it.

Failing that if everyone who's driving a car to the event - like me - could bring a gazebo, we can lash them together to form a 'dry zone' where all our socialising can take place.

I will also be bringing Moonbase 1, my 12 man tent and will be looking into some way to rig up something in the main room for people to hang up kit for drip drying.

Could all potential gazebo carriers speak up in here so I can take a count and see if it's a viable option (I'll be buying one before i leave fri morning if I have to)

I seem to recall there are 2 going already not including me?

It's not all doom and gloom!

I've just been informed there will be one gazebo already, any further gazebo's will be a £10 fee to have on site. Are people willing to spread the cost to keep dry?

Put your clothes back on, tis nice round here at at present. Cloud is high with blue bits showing. Not had any rain since last night. We don't want to encourage it.

£10 per gazebo - that seems a bit money grabbing given the potential size of the booking and the awful weather.
I think a gazebo tax (though it would have to be volutary) would be a good idea. A few quid each would be fine, but momre than that and it's the principle of the matter that would bug me more than the outright cost.
