Brittens and Such

Wait for me people! I'll come if I find the financing. How much do you reckon the total sum will be, excluding the plane ticket?

Captain Mostly · Thu 07/04/2005 08:55:34

I too will be at Glastonbury!
just my fifty-pence-worth... Man inflation's a bitch!

Creed Malay · Thu 07/04/2005 18:37:41

Whoo! Fancy arranging some kind of meet-me-do among the seething hordes at Glastonbury, Fair Captain? So long as you are not scared of gingers or anything. I would understand.

Of course, you'll have to wait until Mittens to meet the really hip people.

As I recall, the camp site fee was about 10 pounds, plus you'll probably need another 10-15 pounds for food; and then any additional trips (for example if we went into London like we did last year) would cost extra. Plus you'd need some money to get from the airport to the camp site, I can't remember how much that cost.

The other question of course is how long do we want Brittens to last? A weekend like last year is probably the best plan since people don't have to take so much time off work and whatnot.

Privateer Puddin' · Thu 07/04/2005 22:05:10

A 2/4 day weekend, depending on when you can turn up / have to leave

m0ds · Thu 07/04/2005 23:24:34

When it comes to cost, Chris is right - for 5 days
camping you will be charged 10 to 20 pounds.

Last year I charged FIVE pounds for food.
I'm raising that this year to TEN pounds,
simply for the fact the food situation has
been awful the other two years and I've
had to spend a lot of my own money on
food, which I'm not prepared to do this year.

So thats a running cost of Â£30 so far.

I'd suggest up to Â£50 spending money,
there is no telling what we may do!

A good Â£30-40 for transport fees would be
useful too.

I'll keep you notified because I'd like
to find a week where we can at least
do one interesting thing, like, go to
London to an exhibition or something.

Total running cost approx: Â£70

If you come with Â£150, you are da
man. (Or wo-man, but I dont think
Yufsters coming

)

NOTE; thats actually a weeks expenses,
so for a weekend Â£100, if that, would be
necessary. LOL.

It will probably run from a Friday morning
to a Mon or Tue afternoon, depending on
flights and so forth. I'll stick around as long
as necessary.

For Brittens, I'm looking at the start or
middle of July, ideally. If its in June then
I won't be able to attend but thats fine
cos I can still arrange the campsite for
those that will be attending.

Mr Jake · Fri 08/04/2005 01:16:27

I can't go any time on/around July 2nd.

Layabout · Fri 08/04/2005 14:42:21

I have o choice but to attend. But i will need to be hooked up with a tent and perhaps some loose women.

Pet Terry · Fri 08/04/2005 21:19:48

You know I'd love to go again but as I'm planning to attend the actual Mittens I guess I have to pass Brittens this year. And if you are planning to have Brittens sometime in June I can't attend anyways. It would be sweet to meet again at "the campsite" though, it's a lovely place.

QuotePlus you'd need some money to get from the airport to the camp site, I can't remember how much that cost.

Last year it was only Â£2 from Heathrow to Staines and about Â£1 from Staines to Laleham if I remember right. Matt Goble would be the best one to provide the correct information though.

Good idea. The monday morning last year we had only biscuits and milk to eat for breakfast.

m0ds · Fri 08/04/2005 22:52:50

lol!!!! A not so nutritious morning!

gah.

Keep yes/no-ing with the July date, we'll see.

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 08/04/2005 23:06:36

yes, july should be fine (Well, any weekend is really)

increase in money is fine, shoulda asked for more last time ya foo' ;p

scotch · Sat 09/04/2005 00:51:21

Like Petteri, I'll probably pass on Brittens, Mittens is enough expense for me.

Captain Mostly · Sat 09/04/2005 23:08:44

I don't see why we shouldn't meed amidst the hordes!

AGA · Sun 10/04/2005 15:58:14

I'm fine with any time from mid-June to mid-September.

magintz · Wed 13/04/2005 11:55:41

I'd prefer the later the better, but not particularly fussed. end of july to end of september would be perfect for me.

Matt Goble · Mon 18/04/2005 00:17:19

Hurrah! Brittens, time for me to show my face again!

A weekend sounds best, especially as CJ says for those who have to book time off work.

M0DS, any chance you can bring my chair with you

I guess I should take a stab at an adventure fame or something (Otherwise it's another year of me stroking my chin and congratulating other people on their games...)

Mr Jake · Mon 18/04/2005 08:33:25

I just found out I finish college on July 1st so pretty much any time after that and before September is fine for me.

Pet Terry · Mon 18/04/2005 08:34:08

Hey Matt! How is it going? I haven't see you around in a while... would be fun to meet you again!

Matt Goble · Mon 18/04/2005 23:00:17

Hey Petteri,

How you keepin?

I drift in from time to time, although I'm still waiting on my mail-order brain to understand AGS 2.7

I'm sorry you won't be able to make it this year, but I'm sure our 'little' gatherings will go on for many years to come!

Matt
