UK summer meetup decisions

*****This will not be a continuous event all the way from 17:00-00:00, it will take a break for main missions, but allow people to continue chatting for those that cannot make it before mains but can make it after mains*****

Ok, so its gone later than I'd hoped to get a group of 10+ together, so I'm hoping this meeting will shit our arses into gear!

I know and understand a number of people can't commit yet but are still hoping and wanting to come, just unable to confirm until last minute - c'est la vie...

No so far myself, @anden3, @ThePointForward, @Yung_Cider, @Gditz, @Skate and @Murky are down on the document as confirmed to be ready to book and able to at least pay a deposit. (please let me know if this is not the case for anyone tagged)

This meeting will be essentially for us to agree upon an accommodation, discuss how we will all pay and I will then be making phone calls to check on availability, prices, how much deposit is required and as long as we all agree to it (also setting up a meeting for tomorrow), then we will book it.

It's up to other to then use the document and the forum thread to organise grouping together and making further bookings, however if anyone needs any help I am still willing to help ensure everyone will be able to keep together.

Most questions I am currently getting is around the deposit, which varies depending on where we choose. Deposits are usually 10-20% of the total cost, so unless we get 15+ others confirming by this meeting that they are able to book, the likes of the boat is out of the question due to the price up front being spread between possibly only 6 of us. This mean the odds are that we will probably be going for a hostel, which hopefully others can just join onto our booking at later dates or just get other rooms there.

Now the one place I have set in my head to put forward as the suggested accommodation would probably work out to be around £40 deposit needed, maybe less I can't guarantee the exact figure but I'd rather over estimate. (saying that it might be more)

I'm more than happy for people to say they are ready to book, but only if the cost remains under what ever budget they have. If anything that will just just get us to ensure we find a cheaper place as I'd rather have more numbers attending than going for a more expensive nicer accommodation!

Also, its been mentioned that there is a possibility of airsoft, which I know a number of people would only have been interested if it was more worth their time with having an airsoft weekend. Hopefully this can be discussed and looked into further, @atomicbucko122 and @COBRA I believe I spoke to you two about this, if you can contact the place and check it would be possible for us to maybe book in that weekend and the details on equipment hire, etc. maybe we can drop the paintball idea for this?
