Paying for stuff

[Lizz]

Hey there good folks, I'm anticipating parting with ££ at the Bushmoot for items from traders, as contributions for materials etc. I'm new to the event so it'd be really helpful to know two things,

Do people tend to prefer cash, or will some people take a cheque especially if for a larger amount? (I'm assuming, maybe wrongly not cards)?

When offering some recompense for materials in a workshop is it ok to ask what would be a suitable contribution?

Thanks all,

Lizz

Cash is king. There are no credit card facilities there.

As Colin said cash is king.

With regards to recompensing workshop tutors if there is a charge for materials used in particular activity then that's announced before it takes place, usually at the morning meeting or on the day's activities board, so people know about it and know what to bring with them.

Hi Lizz,

Cash is king particularly if you have it in coin, them paper notes are a pain when you are in the middle of a wood miles away from so called civilization. Some also accept pure silver coin and lead, though not at ballistic velocities and of course sticks, as long as they are sweating NG, money doesn't grow on trees you know.

There are no card services, no mobile signal.

Other Moot currencies are Jaffa Cakes (not counterfeit ones), Bourbons, Caramel Wafers, Chocolate Fingers.......

Whats a cheque?

You may wish to check spelling in your post Steve, I'm not sure u**x is an appropiate payment method to suggest!!!!!

Whats a cheque?

I think you can use them for hiring Poles. You also use Watts for chequing charge or is that Amps?

I need to pay for a new magic spell chequer, this current one isn't worth a newt's tail!

Cash or high quality biscuits it is then..

Do we have a known exchange rate on the biscuit currencies? Just wondering how many bourbon creams (higher melting point so safer to have when there is no fridge), to the jaffa cake?

Of course the exchange rate can vary due to ambient conditions. I'm OK as I have a gas fridge vault, well two to be precise.

You may have to check the currency rate on the reception board each morning and if we hit 25degC or more there could be inflation due to Jaffa spoilage.
