Right then, after having a long chat with Martyn over several cups of coffee we have decided the following:
- We will have a meet in April, dates to suit (think Lee had some suggestions but can't find them).
- We are not bothering with a campsite, I have a field everyone can use (or hard standing), barns to use in the evening, an outside loo, a possible electric hook up (given a sufficient extension lead) and as much free firewood as anyone needs. A campsite in the Startford upon Avon area is going to be nothing but hassle.
- I will endevour to book my mates off road course (should be no problem) which is three miles down the road.
- My local will cater for a good Sunday roast for everyone
- If people wanted to stay longer I can organise another activity if enough requests, clay shooting, quad biking etc (all at extra cost)
- If I can sort it out, I won't ask for deposits, although if people want to make a donation that will be given to charity in their absence then they can do so. The aim is for a "pay as you go" weekend, although I will let you know ahead of time what the associated costs are.
- I will take a small sum (a tenner say) off everyone that arrives for my "site fee" part of this will go to buying my father lunch to say thanks for taking over his farm, the rest will be donated to Cancer Research. If anyone wanted proof that this has occured it can be arranged.
Hope this covers everything. The key to it all is keeping it simple, who turns up, turns up!
