Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Whether it's good value or not really depends on the level of accomodation and food and whatnot :p

the 120 isn't just for accommodation, it's loads of stuff - any racing, any teaching, entertainment, social events, a certain amount of food/beverage.

to be honest, I would think that the accommodation is not the bulk of the cost. so whilst there would be some saving by camping..... not a huge amount and you would still have to get yourself to and from where everyone else is for the social aspects and suchlike.

completely understand that not everyone has 120 quid they can just blow on a weekend on a whim but I am a little frustrated on JJ's behalf at the suggestions that it is overpriced (or maybe that is just how I am interpreting some of the comments. not aimed at anyone in particular).

maybe a solution is for one or two of the people who would like to reduce the financial burden to speak to JJ to get exact locations and plans so far and then research alternatives that would work alongside the current plans.

Not suggesting it was overpriced Stumpy, but good ideas there. I was assuming that a big portion of that was accommodation.
