Hopefully this could become the start of proper Aires in U.K. it’s going to be a big commitment.

Arisaig is a lovely spot but I cannot help thinking they are aiming too high. Think they should forget starting with a facilities block and only startup with waste disposal and fresh water. Are showers and washing machines really a requirement? Most of us pay campsites for this stopping for an extended period or shower in our vehicles.

£250k is it a scam? Ridiculous they only need a parking area and maybe a dump tank

Yes, I think they are doing too much. Parking, water and waste is all they need. There are several campsites in the area for those that want toilet, showers,etc.

Aiming for that spec of aire will please the half a dozen campsites within 5 miles or so!

 

[Jim]

Great idea, My maths are terrible. But I wouldn't invest with someone who's maths were as good as theirs. 750,000 x £50.

 

[Gaston aires]

Parking, water, and black waste is all that’s required. Surely that’s the spirit of aires.

Friend of mine had a hardstanding for a big barn and 25m of road, cost him almost £350k just for the ground work and concrete. It was a big barn though, say half a football pitch.

It’s called creative accounting Jim

No I think they mean the audience for the finished Aire will be 750k. Not the fundraising audience as I read it initially

Different ball game when its structural. Mot is about £10/tonne. Sounds like they're being too ambitious, does arisaig need bespoke parking for 30 mhs with facilities block? Cant they just re mark an existing car park? There's certainly scope for that here in Shrewsbury. Fair play for trying though.

 

[The Wino]

I think it's not really an investment more supporting the setting up of the Aire. It does make me wonder if I would be happy to invest then find no space if we went to visit!

I think the idea is to get MHs just outside the village itself as it appears to be overrun by them parking in unsuitable places causing problems for the residents. Have just been having a very heated discussion with one objector who does’t seem to realise that this project would solve the very problems he is complaining about! He doesn’t appearwant anyone to visit his village, let alone MHs!

I just had a look at the details and it is an offer to buy shares in the Ltd Co to be set up to develop and run the Aire.

Return on Investment is expected to be 2% at end of year two.

Hmm, he looks to be a recent ‘incomer’ to the village too.

If they said a certain number of spaces reserved for investors until 5 pm each day they would probably get more interest that being said I'm thinking of supporting it anyway.

Usually the way Ian, so many incomers want to fiercely protect what they bought into.

 

[Otter Spotter]

Just had a response from Airisaig

saying that the 1 night limit is to allay commercial camp site owners fears of competition. They are considering extending it to 3nights for shareholders once it’s up and running.
I await their prospectus

I think its a great idea and hope it speads, I'll be happy to contribute.

I remember living in the country and a new couple moved into the house down the road who came round to ask if I knew the name/telephone of the local farmer. Wanted to contact him to complain about the mud/dirty straw etc being left on the road by their tractors and messing up their car!

I explained that’s what happens in the country and to wait until he started muck spreading!

Another new neightbour wanted to start a petition to remove a local noisy cockerel - what did they really expect moving where they did.

Would be interested in a (read small) investment. Good to encourage these things happening

It’s £50 per share.

[Otter Spotter]

I was thinking £500 for 2% annual return, not going to make me rich but if it gives us extra night stays and I can sell the shares back when ai don’t need them, then it’s worth a punt.

Agreed! Ironically, this proposal would solve most of the problems he is complaining about!

Send me details where I can buy mot at £10 per tonne please.

I'm talking lorry loads not bulk bags, but try your local quarry if you've got a decent trailer. Bulk bags are such a ripoff

 

[tribalbrit]

20 tonne loads around here are upwards of £18 per tonne direct from quarry..
