The hotel is now booked.
I hope Woody can provide more details on how we are going to organize the payement. We have to pay as a group so we'll need to collect the money from everyone as soon as possible. But it probably is easiest to pay when you arive.

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?

Great job Woody!

Don't worry, me or some other italian coach will provide you all the amount lump sum.

See you there, mr. president!!!

TiMuN · Post by **TiMuN** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:00 am

Thanx mate .. very appreciated.

I was not seeing the boards for a long time, and Ewan, Valen and EG were telling me about the efforts and bookings. Thanx also to Draco on final bookings too.

The place seems quite nice, more even if you take into account 50 of us will be there. 50 euros per two nights is cheap too, so its a double advantage.

See you all there in two weeks.

Deathwing · Post by **Deathwing** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:16 am

Well, it's a learning curve. Hopefully we can take some measures that'll make the admin easier from our end in future. It certainly was a sizeable booking.

Thanks really to go to Old Man Monkey, Yavatol, Draco and Longfang (as well as the 'national collectors' in advance).
If the NAF can help make things simpler and cheaper for all in terms of accomodation, then it has to be worth the effort from those involved.
Thanks again gentlemen.

Footnote: The vast majority are staying the Friday night, so collecting and/or giving me the money Saturday morning at breakfast is ideal, that way I can pay the bill before we leave for the venue on Sat. Nobody needs/wants to be wandering around A'dam with 3 or 4 figure sums of other people's euro in their possession.

Lycos · Post by **Lycos** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:03 am

And Woody forgot to mention what we agreed last night,

I will collect all the British coaches money for the hostel.

Thats 25â‚¬ please, in cash, on the Sat morn. We will pay it then at breakfast so we dont have worry from then on.
