Venue Same as previously: West End Outdoor Centre, Thruscross, Harrogate, HG3 4BA
When Spring Bank 'Oliday weekend i.e. arrive Friday 27-May - stay for three nights - fek off 'ome Monday 30-May (Bank 'Oliday)
Pricing It has gone up to £320 per night which is £32 per person per bunk total for the full three nights - 'kin bargin!
## CAMPING AND DOSSING DOWN IS FREE AS PREVIOULSY ## BUT IF ALL BUNKS ARE NOT FILLED THEN A CONTRIBUTION WILL BE REQUIRED FROM CAMPERS/DOSSERS !!
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 £32 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 £32.
Due in previous years several people not turning up at the last minute last time (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 your place will be offered to others. Deposits will only be refunded in exceptional circumstances or your place is taken. If you place is taken, the person taking it shall pay me the difference between the deposit paid 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. £58 per head - the non meat eaters and tee-totalers get a corresponding reduction on the cost.
Reduction if you only eat weeds: ca. £13 - Reduction if you don't drink alcohol ca. £20.
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
You can pay me by Bank Transfer (or Paypal but the latter is not my preference...) send email to [color=rgb(74, 74, 74)]2016@springmeet.co.uk [/color]and I will forward the details - note the bank details are same as last years!

[size=0.7em]##IMPORTANT NOTE RE TWIN ROOMS ## NOW RESOLVED ##
This has verged into being an issue in the past i.e there are only 4 No. twin rooms and demand usually exceeds this.
Already this year the twin rooms are over subscribed (see below). I'm trying to come up with the fairest way of allocating the rooms...
First come first served (FCFS) :2fingers is one option (which would fix the room allocation as below), however, this does seem a little unfair as some of those who have been repeat attendees (in some cases for significant number of years) have no advantage; and I am concious that some people may not attend if then do not have a twin room
There are 3 No. four bunk rooms which have in the past been reserved for couples (you can take it in turns 'locking the door'... :kiss )
Therefore, I'd ask anyone who wants a twin room to add your thoughts to this thread as to how you would like to proceed (general comments, plus are you willing to share a four bunk room and if so with whom?)
There is alternative B&B accommodation locally if this is of interest to anyone: http://scaifehallfarm.co.uk/
Ideas going around in my head, drawing from a hat, auction for charity, points system for number of years attended, premium for twin rooms (surplus to charity) etc etc
##update## Velma has been doing some organising and she and Daz are going to share a four bed with Di and Kris - so with the unfortunate parting of some lovely couples (see below) - we are sorted
Deposits paid and twin rooms confirmed (FCFS)
1 - Neilly & Ally
2- Russ & Beth
3 - Daz & Veeee Ian & Soraya (deposit not paid)
4 - Eddie & Val
Twin Rooms Requested (or pending):
5 - Adam + 1 got no money
6 - Raymy & Jodie -parting of ways has taken place
7 - Ian & Soraya? - now in twin room
8 - Dooks & Fluffs? - sharing 4 bed with Daz and V
9 - Nick & Eve? -parting of ways has taken place[/size]
