Like I said Tony, I'm happy to do it but equally happy if anyone else wants to take it on.

The next one will be easier for us having done it once.

Re price, I'm happy where it is. The majority of attendees camp, they now have to pay extra for that.

Toilet hire cost 102.

Catering equipment, disposable flatware and cutlery was significant. We had to buy substantial quantities to get them at a reasonable price. We have more than enough for a second bash. Sanitiser, ditto.

Where we may come unstuck is tables and shelter. We were lucky to get the village hall to loan us their tables, but that cannot be guaranteed. We personally have 9 metres of tables, plus two dining tables if they survive being left out all winter, if they don't, they're going on the bonfire. I don't have room to store them internally. From memory we borrowed around another 10 metres of tables. To buy another 9 metres will cost around 200. Fingers crossed we can borrow again. Shelter is another issue. We put up about 13 metres of shelter, given the weather this was adequate, if it rains heavily though we need more and better. The ideal quality shelters are around 200 per 3.5 metres.

As you can swiftly see, one off bashes consisting of around 30 people can't support this. Plus storing all this stuff becomes a bit of an issue.

So, the more attendees, the better. Hopefully the thirty limit will be increased by April, but who knows. Then there becomes the issue of shooting space. Hard to judge as we had to allow social distancing this time around, again, next year, who knows?

What I can guarantee is that the more money comes in, the better the facilities we can provide. Not a penny will be unspent.

I know location is an issue, but the hardcore attended from Glasgow down to Southampton, via Rochdale, Birmingham, London and Middlesbrough. We have personally made the four hour drive to Micks at least 20 times now.

This thread may as well now serve to discuss future plans for the bash so if anyone has views, please throw them in.
