Bushcraft First aid course
- Thread starter Sniper
- Start date
-
Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
George at Comriecroft has got back to me but unfortunately there is no choice in dates they can offer other than the 11th & 12th of April, so that will be the dates for this to go ahead. However the good news is that Comriecroft have offered the use of the hall to us free of charge if we accept these dates which will mean the total cost to each individual is only that of the site fees of £8 per person per night. This is a very generous offer IMO and I am very grateful to them for this gesture. I do have to point out though that it is the weekend prior to the Ayrshire meet so some may have to increase their brownie points if they wish to attend both of these events, I know I will, but I think it will be well worth it. I would appreciate if someone could pass this on to the folks on SOTP who might be interested please. Comriecroft have asked me to confirm these dates as acceptable ASAP so could you please let me know as quickly as you can in order for me to do this, and thanks to all who have expressed an interest in this and for making this a goer.

I'm pretty certain I can't make this as I am away the weekend prior on a canoe trip. Also is it not the Easter weekend? I would be hung for being away on Easter Sunday.
I'm Definitely Not going to be able to attend as my next day off should be near the end of April sometime 
Have fun though

Count me in 
Magikelly you could bring the girls with you, it's a beautiful family friendly site, and I'm sure we could find enough bits and pieces for them to do to keep busy.
cheers,

I make that 12 in total, but if any more wish to join in please just add your name onto the list folks, I will happily take a couple more. Thanks to all who got back to me so quickly and sorry to those who have had to withdraw, if this goes well I may look at doing another at a later date but I'll see how this goes for now.

Sorry you can't make this John unfortunately there was no room to maneouvre on the dates so I've had to take what was available. This goes to everyone who can't make this one, but as I have said if this goes ok I will look at running another later on in the year. That is if enough people are up for it and we can find the right facilities.
I have just recieved this from George at Comriecroft so I thought it best to post it up for all those attending the course as it relevant to us all. Your integrity is needed here folks, I have booked a pitch for the people with their names on the list and I will be booking mine, but as you will notice that anyone not turning up after booking, the cost will be transferred to me. I have booked for 14 places at the moment which is the listed 12 + myself and SWMBO, now I might manage to make good if she can't make it but stretching for anyone else who might not turn up could get a bit expensive for me. I am still hopefull of another couple of possibles but if they book their own pitches that will be fine. If you know of anyone else interested in coming along tell them to book their site pitch and then ask them to let me know they are coming.
Hi John
Back to work today and I'm glad to see that the April weekend is usable
for you. I have provisionally booked 14 pitches for you but I would ask
you to to get the people who are attending the course to phone us and
confirm the booking of a pitch for themselves by Monday the 20th or if
you wish to, call us yourself with credit or dept card details. This is
the normal booking practise and payment is only taken once you arrive or
in the event of late cancellations or no shows. Any cancellation with
less than a weeks notice or no shows are charged for one night. I
mention this because we are expecting to be busy on that weekend and we
may have to turn people down for a pitch, as the person making the
booking it would be yourself that would be responsible for any
cancellations or non use of pitches. I hope this is helpful to you and I
look forward to seeing you all here.
Regards
George
I thank you all for your cooperation in this

For all your effort and time, I'm willing to pay up front. Do I gather that the payment be sent to you?
One thing I might be missing the point about, but "... by Monday the 20th ...".
March 20th is a Friday;- by April 20th it will be too late ?
Thanks again, John.

can i pay upfront too please. I am free but work has a nasty habit of creeping up on me at the worst times. Better safe than sorry
They don't actually want payment until we arrive at the site and then we pay either as a group or as individuals. My thinking was getting everyone together as usual on the Friday night when we have all arrived and sitting down, collecting the money then, and paying it as a group if that is acceptable to all.
Hi folks due to family commitments over the easter weekend im going to struggle with this one . Had a go at moving things around but swmbos family are all due to visit us over that weekend. Shame I was gonna drag the kids along too.
Hope to make the next one . apologies anyway for having to drop out.

John remember my daughter and I don't need a pitch as we live locally, but happy to contibute to the costs if necessary. Do you want payment up front for the share of the hall hire ? Noted the earlier suggestion about a donation as well
Thanks
Thanks
