Just paid the deposit via credit card, so all sorted.
Here's how it's going to work:
Costs:
I'm not going to breakdown the costs individually. (Smaller rooms are slightly more expensive, there's a small supplement for Friday and Sat nights etc). As you can appreciate, that would be a logistical nightmare. So to keep things simple, we're going to divide up the total cost by the total nights booked and everybody pays the average.
The average per night (by my calculation) is around 24 Euro, so I'm going to simply charge everybody 25 Euro per night to make things easy. (The remainder will cover the paypal/exchange rate costs the NAF occurred in transferring the necessary funds for the deposit over (and back!) from the NAF account (which is US based) along with any charges that may go on the credit card used).
Payment:
I'll ask for a NAF NTO or other volunteer to collect the funds for their particular country and give it to me in one lump sum.
France: Pedro?: 33 nights total *25 = 825 Euro
Germany: Sputnik: 5 nights total *25 = 125 Euro
Belgium: Brassman or Tuern?: 7 nights total *25 = 175 Euro
Italy : Panico?: 21 nights total *25 = 525 Euro
Netherlands: JaM?: 2 nights total *25 = 50 Euro
Spain: Timun: 2 nights total *25 = 50 Euro
UK (Cough): Volunteer? : 51 nights total *25 = 1275 Euro (!)
Obviously cash is going to make it easier for whoever's collecting the cash for each country, a situation where 21 different people try to pay their individual bills with 21 different cards is to be avoided if at all possible!
I will print out and bring lists by country of who owes what individually, so the collectors can tick people off as they pay and keep track.
Well that's the plan anyway.
Everybody happy? Any questions?
