Default 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.

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?

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?

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

SORRY FOLKS, this does happen, and I only spoke to the site the week before

I'm not sure how this affects our voting, as obviously we need the bunkhouses, as these are essential to some of us.

SO far, the other dates in July are free.


DISCUSS>
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.

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.

THAT would have been a fair way of doing it. What you have effectively done is remove the dates in favour of the few people who would have wanted to use the bunkhouse. You have not taken into consideration the reason why that date had the most votes.

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