ACCOMMODATION

If a team requires accommodation for more than the 4 people then there will be an extra charge of GBP 130 (E150) / person for the stated period. If you choose your own accommodation, there is no refund available.
MEALS PACKAGE
10 meals (lunch & dinner + free breakfast) at 100 Euros / person to be ordered at least two month in advance, and to be paid on or before 19th July are offered commencing with dinner on 25 August, and finishing with lunch on 30 August, 2020.
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.
EVENT STRUCTURE
This event will be run using the CIA loggers. We will not be using observers.
