And we wonder why no one travels anymore.
What were they back in the 60's 70's 80's 90's say for a GP or Ent or Fireball for example?

Considering what your boat costs, a set of decent rags, road trailer, fuel, etc etc. I think £39 is cheap.
This discussion comes up regularly but its less than a meal for two in the local pub.

Grafham has to pay their landlord a fee for each visiting boat this is lumped on top of the entry fee IIRC. Rutland will likely be the same as they have the same landlord.

Try taking your child's tera to Grafham.
One of the issues with some big reservoir clubs are the boat fees payable to the landlords.
This does protect the clubs from a bewl water scenario. But means bringing a boat in is more expensive.
It's not easy to get into Rutland for an open meeting, so the rates can't be that uncompetitive.
As for accommodation, bunk rooms are available12-14 pppn, and cheap camping on the field opposite the club entrance.
www.rutlandwatercampsite.co.uk
This is not part of the club, as the lease prohibits camping on site, but you are allowed to use the club loos as long as you are at an event.

Hope that helps.

We held an RS200 Open at Carsington two years ago.  Entry fee was £30 for one day.  Thumbs Down

People doing race duty gets subsidies off their membership fees and the entry fees are supposed to pay for this, hence the rather draconian fee.

Perhaps a little expensive compared to other 2 day opens, but I suspect running Rutland costs a little more than most clubs. However,  compared to most other sports its an utter bargain. And still we complain..

 It's a two day event with six races over the weekend. Entry is £39 

Sounds amazing value!
