Okay, sparklyfolk, here we go

Time for some Camp Sparkle news.

Yay!

Perhaps the most crucial thing you need to know (now that you know the dates) is, how much will it cost?

Well, unfortunately I don't get confirmation of the cottage rental price until November, so the accommodation part of the deal is estimated based on the way the prices ran in 2005/2006. If there's a humungous price bump, we may have to re-think, but assuming it's reasonable we should be fine. Then nopseud and I spent quite a long time figuring out what we're going to eat during the weekend (more about that another day).

Our conclusion is that we reckon the weekend should cost around £65 per person.

Is there a better bargain *anywhere*? :-D

There are some variables, of course. The £65 figure is based on an attendance count of 15 people, otherwise everyone will have to pay a bit more for the accommodation. (Food, obviously, is per head anyway.) On the other hand, if we get 20 people, it'll be cheaper for all! So if there is someone on your flist who hasn't found out about us yet, an ardent popslasher you think should be there, someone you really want to meet, nudge that person into having a look at this community, okay?

What we propose to do is ask you to pay a deposit of £30 when you sign up. The remainder of the money will be due much closer to March 16th, by which time we shall know how many people are going to be there and will be able to say exactly how much everyone needs to pay.

We'll open Registrations very soon.

OMG! YAY!

I've been so jealous of the Sparkle Con people, now I don't have to be.

I'll pimp asap.

We are going to have A Lotta Fun. :-D

Wah! I want to goooo, but the UK, man! I have no idea how I'm gonna swing that. It sounds like SO much fun, though.

[pensnest]

Book your cheap airfare now! EasyJet Copenhagen to London Stansted, 139.50 Dkr. It will be fun, surely!

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? That is really cheap. I'm gonna have to look into this, it sounds too awesome to pass up on.

[ephemera-pop.livejournal.com]

And Stanstead is pretty close to both me and the Londonbased S's, so possible mass travel from London to Camp could be a thing ....

[rikes]

It should definitely be a thing - I'm 99% sure I'll be flying to Stansted, too. (Unless I win the lottery and can suddenly afford a private jet.) :)

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

That sounds great! This is starting to sound much easier. :)

[ephemera-pop.livejournal.com]

*dances* - this is going to rock ;D

[clear-my-eyes.livejournal.com]

Exciting!! I've never been to anything remotely sparkly before...be gentle!

[pensnest]

Oh, you're in for a good time. The sparkly fans I've met so far are all lunatics just like me a lot of fun to be around.

[turlough]

WHeeeeeee, Camp Sparkle!!! *bounces with excitement*

[nopseud]

It's going to be so much fun!

(And I should bring along a couple of my Doctor Who tapes so we can sneak in some Turlough squee :-)

[turlough]

Yes!! And perhaps we could recruite more people to the Turlough Appreciation Society :-)

Hello! I just found out about this community and promptly joined. I'm a bit challenged in regard to internet access at the moment thus my delayed response. I love the idea of a get-together of sparkly fans. I hope that I can include myself although I'm not a writer, just a reader and a fan of all things sparkly. :)

If this is just an event for writers, I'll understand but hope that lots of great stories will be written following the weekend.

[nopseud]

It isn't at all an event particularly for writers -- any and all sparkly fans are welcome. I hope you can come. It'd be cool to meet you :-)

[pensnest]

*what nopseud said*

(I suspect it's mostly an event for squee-ers...)
