I would like to justify the following costs by break down but more importantly my reasons why I feel this to be the best approach. Last years event was great, but unfortunately for most of us its like going on holiday to the same place every year in that the first time was fantastic and repeat visits aren’t quite the same. So in order to make each event more special, I need to be ahead of the game. That to me means more emphasis on comfort, social and pleasure. Wrap all this up and each year should be better and better without the need to increase costs. The main difference this year is that the venue is more expensive, but the guys at Selby have a business to run and that’s fair enough in my book. They’ve knocked the cost down ?50 to donate to charity and that’s great.
To be able to come along to this event, you will need to have sent through a cheque for ?50. This will secure you you’re place and cover you for 48 hours of fishing, grub, booze trophies and of course total fun and frolics. I know some of you may only be able/want to do 24 hours and feel you should only be paying half the amount but hey, what can I say, such is life. The actual Compo will run for 24 hours, 8am-8am although 36 hours would be my preferred route, but we can look at that further down the line and of course, if all is acceptable. It’s early November and you’ve got plenty of time to negotiate with work or harder still the war office. If you really want to come, then somehow you will manage to sort the time out and I’ll look forward to welcoming you with a large port, sorry cup of tea!
Beakdown: ?50 per head
2 full days and nights fishing for ?18.
?4 to cover petrol to get the food wagon up there and cost to run.
?8 for trophies.
?10 for breakie/lunch/dinner for TWO days!!!
?10 for alcohol for two days (hic)
I’ve received loads and loads of emails from those wishing to attend asking me already where they should send the cheque, so I can only assume everyone is happy with this set-up. No doubt some will have issues in raising ?50 before Christmas etc, but please try you’re best. If this is an issue then contact me directly and we’re look to sort something else out for you by way of deposit etc. On receipt of monies/cheques I will send you sponsor forms for you to raise cash for The Second Chance Charity. For those of you who have reservations about me holding the money, then rest assured, I will be leaving the country and travelling around Mexico! No seriously, I held all monies last year so no issues there. Also be rest assured that m name is Stuart not Gypsy Dave!!
