Entry Fees

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.

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.

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.

And we wonder why no one travels anymore.

The amount of effort and volunteer time it takes to put on a decent open meeting, plus you add on fuel cost, rent in some cases of committee boat, extra ribs, prizes etc The clubs need to make some money otherwise why bother running them.
£39 is not expensive.

Damn sight more than they are now in relative terms I very strongly suspect...
