New weekender proposal - your viewsMe and a friend are currently drawing up plans to hold a weekend fund raising round up at a quite countryside location near Selby, North Yorkshire.
Here's the proposal...
Venue : Selby district Motor Club - Breighton, nr Selby
Capacity : 60 people, seated
Caravan space : 25 vans
Date : Fri 5th sept, Sat 6th sept - go home Sun 7th sept
Price : £15 for the weekend (includes caravan parking)
Charities to benefit : Yorks.Air Ambulance & Calder Air Rescue
Entertainment
On Friday night we would have a solo artist (ie: Jonny Williams/Middi etc) and Wrangler as the house band.
On saturday night we would have a different solo artist or duo and Wrangler as the house band.
Bar
The club house has a bar area that will be set up for Lager and bitter - probably £2 a pint but hopefully a bit less if we can get the barrels a bit cheaper. Also would have Optics available too. Also, because of the location a policy will be in place for the opening/closing time of the bar. Basically, if your still drinking - we're still serving.
Caravans
Room for 25 caravans, side by side. Unfortunatly theres no leccy hook up. access is down a firm gravel track.
Food
We will build a huge B-B-Q and we'd serve Burgers/sausage/steak from 9pm till it goes out or we run out. Probably priced at £1
Clubhouse
The clubhouse will be done out as a saloon for this weekend. Oak beams are already in place and the place has a rustic feel to it already. Gents toilets are basic, ladies are also basic (only one cubicle in ladies), but would most ladies use their own caravan toilets anyway??
There is a kitchen but we're hoping to just have the BBQ going for this year.
The venue backs onto Breighton airfield and is lovely and peaceful.
Future...
If this event goes well and people like the venue we dont see why we couldnt run it again next year. There is the option to extend this clubhouse too which we looked at last night, to seat maybe 100.
In a nut shell...
This place is rustic but comfortable. Small this year but extendable for next year.
I would appreciate anyones opinions, help, views or input for this idea. At the moment it's just an idea... making it happen is down to us all.
Please comment on anything... prices? location? anything you think.

Sounds like an excellent idea to me  shame we won't be able to make it,  but i am sure you will have no difficulty filling the place up
|
Judy
|
How about day time activities ie axe/knife throwing and shootouts, folks wont get bored through the day then
|
Twang Man
|
yep, we've had clearence for shoot outs - fill ya boots
|
Judy
|
and the knife axe throwing do you have a target board 
|
Snowdog

|
Twang Man
|

|
Twang Man
|
yep both me and Tim will be staying over. Tim is the mechanical minded one - and technical stuff - see him.
tigger - I can see a couple of good reasons you should be behind that bar

|
grumpy
|

|
tigger
|
if ya decide before sunday you could put flyers out at Towerfest - but of course official announcement on here first so we can get our names down 
|
Twang Man

i dont think this will take much selling out with only enough room for 25 caravans/60 people in club.
I would rather you lot be there anyway than a load of 'strangers'. I want this to be like a round up weekend with everybody who knows everyone.
Cut the grass at the weekend - looks a lot bigger now lol
|
Jomal
|
Sounds like fun, i really wish we could come too

Thats what I thought, just wanted to clarify it for everyone 
|
Twang Man

it's our van mechanic Tim thats in on this with me. He works behind the scenes for the band and some of the stuff he sorts out 'behind the scenes' is unbelievable - he even bought a transit so we have a spare van!!!!!!!
£15 per person we thought, with it been a charity but I dunno? is that too steep?
|
tigger
|
no it ain't too steep - well I don't think it is

No its not too steep at all. I was just clarifying it as it said "Price : £15 for the weekend (includes caravan parking)". Didnt want people thinking it was just £15 per caravan

for anyone thats interested - the location of this club house overlooks Breighton airfield. Breighton airfield has 1x spitfire, 1x hurracaine and a messhershmitt airplane - all in full working order. They have said that they will do a fly past for anyone who wants to see these machines take off - circle- and land. how cool is that?
