Individual extra meals ordered at 24 hours notice : 14 euros per meal.

PROPANE
This will be charged at cost, indicative price GBP 0.70/litre.  The intention is that individual tanks will be weighed before and after refuelling - this will be a bit time consuming, but does ensure it is fair for everyone.  Refuelling will be available on Tuesday 25th.  You will be required to pay a deposit of 400 Euros on or before 19th July.
