When Spring Bank 'Oliday weekend i.e. arrive Friday 26-May - stay for three nights - fek off 'ome Monday 29-May (Bank 'Oliday)
Pricing It has gone up to £1000 for the three nights (was £960) which is £33 per person per bunk total for the full three nights - still a 'kin bargin! yes 1000/30 is not 33 I've added £10 from last years left over kitty to make it a whole number. Total 'all in' for bunk, food, booze is £90 see Pricing Summary below.
## CAMPING AND DOSSING DOWN IS FREE AS PREVIOUSLY ## BUT IF ALL BUNKS ARE NOT FILLED THEN A CONTRIBUTION WILL BE REQUIRED FROM CAMPERS/DOSSERS !!
### TWO BUNK SPACES TO FILL ### keep canvassing: link to calling cards: https://www.dropbox.com/s/di7k6jeygr70k7o/FOC-U%20Spring%20Meet.docx?dl=0
Note currently cost is just about covered - even with two bunks not taken (using surplus from last year) - this is subject to change dependent upon final shopping spend.
Deposits and Payment
Normally those who subsequently cannot make it will get their deposit/money back assuming the place can be passed on. Otherwise the shortfall has to be covered by those who have attended. As every year you have plenty of time to book the time off; that said I appreciate "stuff" happens and can't be avoided - be assured I will try me very best to refund you if this happens and your excuse is genuine.
I have already paid the £200 deposit to secure the booking. As this has been covered by deposits paid I don't need any further payment until April, when I need to pay the FULL balance for the accommodation (by the end of April). On this basis I will be expecting a minimum deposit (per bunk place) of £33 no later than 31-March.
Priority for bunk places will be given to those paying deposits - A deposit can be any amount £10 or upwards. Multiple deposits are fine but I'd prefer it all in one i.e. for bunks the full £33.
Due in previous years several people not turning up at the last minute (with genuine excuses thin on the ground), I will be expecting payment IN FULL (i.e. total inc. food) no later than two weeks prior to the meet.
If you have not payed in full by 10-May then if demand your place will be offered to others. Deposits will only be refunded in exceptional circumstances or your place is taken. If your place is taken, the person taking it shall pay me the difference between the deposit paid (by you) and the total amount payable i.e. you are responsible for recovering your deposit from them yourself (obviously I will put you in contact with them). Anyone dropping out at the "last minute" will only be refunded in exceptional circumstances.
Food/beer/band/sundries will be ca. £57 per head - tee-totalers get a corresponding reduction on the cost.
Reduction if you don't drink alcohol ca. £20.
Veggies note as I will still be buying you some veg food then as this roughly equates with the cost for BBQ and breakfast meat there is no reduction. You need to tell me what you want - alternatively if you want to cater for yourself (bring your own or eat twigs from outside) then a ca. £5 reduction applies.
This has always been a three night event. If you want to stay for less then fine, but again I've booked for three nights so you pay for three nights. Popping over for one night only? Normally anyone who turns up on the Sunday (or other night but there is unlikely to be any spare bunks on the Fri and Sat) and takes a vacated bunk and chucks some money in the kitty (assuming you want to eat and drink) - £20 is about right. Note (rightly or wrongly) I've now decided to relax this rule a little for those camping or dossing.
You can pay me by Bank Transfer (or Paypal but bank transfer my preference...) send email to 2017@springmeet.co.uk and I will forward the details - note the bank details are NOT same as last years! Whatsapp is my preferred IM app.
##Please DO NOT use the PM feature to contact me - use email, Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger! ##
Pricing Summary (guide)

These are subject to confirmation but generally any uplift has previously been less that £5 per person overall.
