Event Costs

As camper van owners we prefer full weekend events as there's more time to relax, especially if combined with an evening event and on-site camping and we can arrive Friday night. One day events always seem such a rush.

For one day £5 to £10 for entrance, a bit higher if lunch is included. For two or three day (Bank Hol) events up to about £35 without meals plus probably £10 per head for evening meals. Many of our events do inclusive prices.

Liquid fuels for van and selves extra of course.

 

Same as Nathan. But I replace my set of sails every National
Championship and then relegate the older ones to open meeting sails so i
guess you could factor in £100 over the 15 or so events i do a year.
Plus alot of things such as accommodation, food etc my crew has to pay
for as well. But then things like fuel and entry fees we split.

Never really thought how much i spend. Im never really that bothered
tbh.

I have friends who take thermos flasks of tea with them etc to save
buying a cuppa but the way i look at it is, whats 50p when the only thing
that will buy me on my boat is the plastic bobble on the end of the
halyard. I know it all adds up, and dont get me wrong im very good with
money, but i do the events to enjoy them and cutting corners here and
there to save a few quid just dampens my weekend.

as for tips on saving cash my only one is not to get into large round
situations at the bar!

£20 is a fair ammount of money for a one day event mate (I know there is another thread) I would think between £30 and £50 for a one day event including fuel.

Oll, this hasn't been discussed for a long time on this forum. 
I will only do events if i can kip in the car in the club car park, although obviously i get a hotel at the tiger trophey etc. A break down for me is usually for a two day event:

£25 Entry

£20 Food

£25 Beer kitty

Total £70

Entry costs were discussed, but not what a whole event sets you back (only that entries were a small %). Not sure I dare do the maths, as I might stay home!
