A bit late as only just got back from caravan and reception there not very good, but thanks to @TheCaller and all the musicians who made it a fantastic weekend. We loved the location, so, please please, hold it there next year!!

Finally, after a diversion to Hartlepool & a seeming mountain of work in the few working days I've had in the last fortnight - a financial summary.

The drop in numbers in the last few days leading up the meet had left the finances looking a bit shaky - a small loss appeared to be on the cards. But the site move brought several bonuses. The lack of a marquee could have been a problem if the numbers hadn't dropped, especially as the weather was not kind to us on the Friday & Saturday. But as it turned out, we all fitted into the clubhouse & the overall cost at the airfield was less than at the museum. There were two added bonuses on top - Chris rounded the total camping fee down a bit & we had a donation from a funster that pushed the total up a bit more.

As a result I'm pleased to report a surplus that is slightly more than my original budget. As I said in the first post in this thread, any surplus would be donated to the MS Society, in the hope that it helps them not only support current sufferers, but contributes towards research to find both the causes of the disease & hopefully a cure for future sufferers. Those of you who were at the meet will be aware of just some of the problems it causes.

On your behalf, I have forwarded the sum of £50 to the MS Society. In the comment box that goes with the donation, I explained that it came from a Music meet of Motorhome Fun & included our site URL. Their automated email in response is attached.

Can I add my personal thanks for your support of the MS Society.

Glad it all worked out Simon, we both enjoyed it and thought the venue was great if the weather had been good the music would have been al fresco so no need for a marquee. Hope it's there next year! Have a great summer both of you.

@TheCaller.

Simon, many thanks for the summary. We've been to The Bubble Car Museum's old place, but not their newer location, however, I do understand that it is out in the sticks a bit, very much like their last place was.

For Rita and I, the Boston Aero Club was an excellent location, and we were made so welcome there. We would be keen to support another Music & Mechanics meet held there, and hopefully raising that fifty quid by a substantial amount.
The only downside was the size of the club house, but on this occasion, we managed. Use of their hangar would be a bonus, depending upon numbers attending. Not sure what it woud do for the accoustics though.

On behalf of Rita and I, thanks again to you and Jane, and to your friends and band members who turned up to entertain us all.

Cheers for now,

Jock.

Thanks for the info Simon. Another vote here for the location as everything was close to hand and the air folk couldn't have made us more welcome.

We loved the music & dancing, amazing to watch and enjoy.

The Autoglass guys who use it as a base were an added bonus, as was the Red Arrows fly past and the pilots being happy to take people up for flights was the cherry on the top

Here's to next year

Les & Deb

Edit: just re read that....not the Red Arrows pilots..obviously

Thanks for the update from us too Simon. Good to hear you werent out of pocket and made a small profit for charity.

We will all need to dig a little deeper next year and come along with some extra £1coins. I can always help you extract them.

Another vote for the same location please.

Wirh regards to shelter Jim has 2 event shelters that funsters can use. How you would get them there though I dont know...via funsters I guess.

If anyone ever is unsure of running a meet and being out of pocket then email Jim and he will make up the shortfall.
