Price will be £10 PPPN, I've covered the deposit so just bring cash and pay when you arrive. Excess over £500 if any will go to the club fund unless people have any issues with this?
The dates are confirmed as Friday the 19th and Saturday the 20th April, out by midday on Sunday. I'll be there around 4.30 on the Friday afternoon. We're at Pound Farm campsite, postcode LA8 8JZ (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=la8+8jz...k&t=h&z=17)
For food, I think it'd be best for people to BYO, but there is a Morrisons reasonably close. I'll be bringing a big BBQ, possibly a big gas stove, a load of homebrew, and other random camping paraphernalia.
We have access to the whole camping area, toilet and shower block (if it's finished, which it should be, there will be a new block on the field, if not it's 50 or so metres walk to the old one). I don't think there's a charge for the showers, will have to check.
Although we have the field to ourselves, there are lodges next to it which may be occupied, and I have assured the site manager that we'll be reasonable, IE not be a bunch of chavs, causing a lot of noise at 2am, clear up after ourselves ETC.. We want the opportunity to return next year. Basically if we're as we were at FCS, that's fine.

Looking like we're going for central lakes, I've found an epic location that is "group friendly"

The location (TBC) will be the National trust campsite opposite the Old Dungeon Ghyll pub in Great Langdale.
It's the best location I could find that will accept groups, and it is low car friendly access. Well, I can get there..

Not picking holes in your plan or anything (well actually I am) It looks like an awesome location (especially being right next to a pub and cows for tipping) but its right near a river and barely any higher than it and in april in the lake district is that gonna be a good idea. Could end up sleeping in a puddle
just a thought

Fair point, I'll also look into some other ones.
Actually just been recommended this one: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Low+Wra...ngdom&z=16
Looks like a better option, albeit in a slightly less epic location and further to the pub.
But I'll be bringing homebrew in epic quantities, so we may not need the pub!

Right, I need people to confirm ASAP, so I can let the sit know final numbers, They also will want payment up front BEFOREHAND, so unfortunately you're gonna have to paypal me and then I can book.
Also need to know if people want to stay Friday night, or if it'll just be on Saturday.
I know it's a pain, but it's the only campsite I can find happy to accept groups without imposing strict (boring) terms

Right guys and girls.
I've managed to get us a whole campsite for the weekend, the owner has offered it for £500. If we get 25 people that works out at £20 each.
I've said I'll get back to him in a week or so, so let's see how many people we can get together
Alternatively I can see about the national trust one if we're struggling to make numbers up.

Even with 25 people (dont know/doubt we would get) this a little on the expensive side
Thought the north was supposed to be cheap?
Still gonna put my name down though

Bear in mind a lot of sites won't accept us, some have car parks that are basically playgrounds, and I reckon the cheapest we'd see would be about £8 a night, so to have a whole site for £10 a night (numbers depending) works out pretty good IMO..
Like I said, If we have less people wanting to go, I'll look into alternative options.

Experience says we would only see 50-75% of people who put their name down
I'd like to say higher on this forum just due to the people
Suppose its not such a bad price but I'm guessing people would have to pay before hand non refundable

I know, which is why I'm trying to get as many as possible. Everyone hassle people to go!
And the payment would be beforehand, but I'll say only once people have confirmed. I'd like to think I'm giving enough notice

It's a shame that we need to pay the amount in full, is there no way they'll accept a 50% deposit now and 50% on arrival?

I'd better make this all clear before it gets confusing:
I'm looking at two campsites, one is a National Trust site at Low Wray:
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/holidays.../low-wray/
They want final numbers ASAP and haven't quoted a price yet, but want payment before arrival, and want to do all dealings and transactions through one club representative (me)
The other one I actually went to visit today:
http://www.poundfarmleisurepark.co.uk/
It's a smallish site, with wooden lodges and a field with parking in the middle that they use for camping. They said that if there's more than about 18 people, they would close off the camping to everyone but us, giving us as much space as we want. Fixed price of £500 for the Friday and Saturday nights, out by midday on Sunday. So 25 people would be £10 a night.
I'm happy to keep looking around if people aren't happy but we need to get moving IMO, and I really need confirmed numbers as that's the first question asked. Also ideally how many cars we'll have between us, and if people intend to stay on Friday night..

That would mean that for those that do turn up they wouldn't know how much they have to pay
And if the worst were to happen and maybe like 5 people turn up they better have deep pockets

Payment in advance is difficult, because you generally want to wait until a little closer to the time to see things like weather/finances etc.
But not paying beforehand when there's an agreed payment price does screw over everyone else if a few don't turn up.
My worry is that it'll be like last year's April camping meet. We were missing at least 5 people who said they'd come...
