Update: Gathering Financial
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2002 12:42 pm
Good News
As of yesterday, April 16th, the financial side of our stay at the Hayes Resort is taken care of. The deposit of $850 has been made, thanks to the committed folk at http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/bdgathering/. The other half will be paid by 32 on arrival.
This is the situation: there are 17 beds in the cabins and 17 people on the mailing list, the first to confirm they were definitely coming to the Gathering. These people have already paid $50 for their stay. Seeing as how they were first to pay, they will get beds. This means that everyone subscribing to the mailing list and committing to going as of now, will need to bring his own mattress and/or sleeping gear. Don't worry, there's enough room to put us all up. You just need to bring your own stuff.
Now us at Planning aren't complete assholes just yet. We figured it would be a little on the unfair side of things to have air mattress folk pay the same as bed folk. That's why we're introducing this deal.
The Deal
The people who have already made their payment are paying a little under $8.50 per night per person. Everyone else will be paying $5 p/n p/p. Money gathered from this will pay for basic commodities such as breakfast foods, sodas, toilet paper, etc. Everyone attending the Gathering will be allowed to use these goods, because everyone paid for them, directly or indirectly. The alternative to Planning providing these goods is getting $2 off of everyone each morning to go get bread. Can you say: 'suck ass?'
Suggestions
As always, you can reply to this thread or message/e-mail any of us personally at the addresses listed below. I sincerely hope everyone agrees that this is a fair and relatively easy set-up. God knows we tried. ;o)
