Make the most of the 2 days get them interested and wanting to come. Organised games or something, our own amusements...ping pong balls in the jar, radio controlled car racing...playstation/Wii/Xbox competion...that kind of thing. Pay per play though to fund the event.

i take your point Alan - before i booked billing i did try different venues, my origanal idea was just a field like you suggest, but the problems i got was a lot need local planning permission to be used for events (ok you might get away with it short term but long term you'd need it), those which had it allready granted (ones like car boots etc.) were generally restricted to a set amount of events per year so by allowing us a weekend they were loosing out on others financially so they wanted a fair amount of money to rent us the field, the other thing is you need stuff like toilets (again more cost) and another way of looking at it is all those with familys who did use the facilites who also brought along a transit might not have done so if the billing facilities wernt thereAlanN wrote:I know some people seem to love Billing and dont get me wrong it was OK, but I think the entrance fee was an oppertunaty lost... Ive always tried to be self contained and all I did, was pee in their dirty toilet. I'd have rather paid Luke the £30 for the weekend to be in a field with a generator and enjoyed as it was over the last weekend. I know people have familys, but it seems an oppertunaty lost at a different venue.
Ive said it before, Luke is this forum and Im proud of him. I would love to help more next year

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks you did a belting job mate - if I had a hat I'd take it off to ya!
If I can do anything to help out for next year I'd be happy to volunteer my services. I'd also be happy to chuck some money in to get you back towards the black at the bank if you like - you only need to ask.
Oh Gurj - what's with this pro outfit you're after bringing - was your van not quite loud enough or something?
Cheers,
Andy
