The next unofficial... Keswick anyone?

During stardate Sat, 22 Oct 2005 20:40:45 +0100, Lee_D uttered the imortal words:

Right,

Answer from Dave Mitchells chaps. Yes they can accomodate us for a days off roading. They can also point us to some nearby camp sites who are used to groups of off roaders.

For the Off roading the prices work out at, "The daily site hire is £352.50 for the first 5 vehicles + £25.00 for each additional vehicle, and includes 1 of our team in their own vehicle, to give help and advice, etc during the day."

At first I needed to take a cold shower but then I sat down and did some maths.

15 at £40.17 each

and so on. I've not bothered to work it out any further as I don't think we would be likely to turn up more than 20 and B I've no upper limit on attendance at present. I think the 15 vehicle quote is fair and anything above that a bonus (don't forget help on hand for those new to muddyness).

If we formally invite the 101 FC unofficial crew we can make up the numbers much higher, Although I suspect Grahame May be oranising an unofficial already specifically aimed at the 101 FC owners if the article in "six stud" is owt to go by (101 Official club mag).

Thoughts peeps?

Camping will of course be in addition. I'm sure someone knows some Welsh lanes we can do too on the other days.

Whats more theres Plenty of castles and Beaches to trip to for days out as well (Thinking other half and Kids entertainment).

This is fine... but...

The more come the better - the less come the worse. I would not like to see a massive task of organising and taking deposits again, this makes it less unofficial (full marks to Steve by the way).

Can I put a spanner in the works and say we go for a far, far simpler option?

1. Find a campsite that's accessible (within 4 hours drive max), near an offroad provision that has pay and play days.

1. There is no 2. Just arrange time and place, if people want to turn up they can, if they all chicken out at the last moment, fine too, nobody has to worry about 'being in charge', or collecting money.

Yup agreed, just posted as one option. Few more Irons in the fire yet , one which is soooo simple it's untrue if it comes off.

I tried this lot when I was looking for the 1st unofficial, and got short shrift. At least you got prices from the buggers. When I asked they said they didn't allow what we wanted.

Suppose it depends who you get at the other end ultimately.

Steve muttered summat about:

I'm told that the exact centre of England is only about twenty miles away. Don't know whether thats true, but we must be close. Has down sides, like its a bloody long way to any beach from here!!
