campsparkle | Camp Sparkle: the third generation

Hi All!

nopseud and I are assuming that some of you will want to come to Camp Sparkle next year, so have been doing a bit of investigating.

We could, of course, go back to The Old Stables, which was a pretty good venue. There are more tourist opportunities in the area, too, if some of you would like to make it a week-long event, as it was this year. Or, we could go somewhere new. We've found a nice-looking place called Ebenezer Chapel, in the middle of England (near Derby), which also happens to be rather good value.

As an additional factor for consideration, I'm not going to be available at the end-Feb/early-March time when we've run our previous two CSs. And I do pretty much need to be available, or who will drive the minibus?

So, we could look at the week commencing March 23rd, or the week commencing March 30th, and, if there are twenty of us, pay somewhat under £50 each for the cottage hire part of the deal. (Possibly the first week of April also fits into this pricing.) Or, because this is a very good value venue, we could go for Easter Week, which I believe means starting on Good Friday, 10th April, and pay a little under £70 each for the rent. (The Old Stables was £87 each for the week.) Travel might be a bit more expensive at that time, or at least, you'd need to book flights/trains earlier in order to get good deals, but it might be more convenient in terms of holiday time.

Therefore, I poll.

Let's get things started.
