I would be more than happy to bring Bulldog Breed over for an event like this but travel is the issue so if the collective transport was made an option then it would be possible for us
Hello Pete...I have applied with 4 robots already but trevor and mega mouse also want to come over with us so if we are chosen then you will have 5 robots with 3 roboteers.
Of course I have offered services regarding the collective travel and would much prefer if a lot of robots travelled over but if not then the above stands with trevor with us.
Cheers ears
Shane
John/Alan/Shane.... I'm on the case, you'd be amazed what an old hand at sponsorship can get for nowt
Pete - ball is still in your court here, I have a package coming together, but need to know what the budgets are - not heard anything from you.
This is a great opportunity to show to BT that we can make their money go further (and any sponsor/client wants that), at worst you can offer a better package to those teams that would have gone anyway, and at best we can achieve your goal of having more teams there.
As someone who was there last year, there certainly was little contingency for a breakdown or someone driving a mech when they should have been elsewhere.
I'll PM you just in case you're not reading this.
Any News....it must be sorted asap as i would assume a lot of sorting out and arranging this side.???
Shane, since Pete posted saying how great it would be to club together and get more teams to come, I've not heard anything from him despite trying to make contact through various means.
In order to try to make that happen, I already have ferry companies interested in offering us free transportation, and vans and drivers standing by (Team Storm always did have a thing for getting sponsorship).
If anyone can get hold of Pete and ask him to get in touch go for it, I've tried emailing him and PM'ing here - but without the detail from Pete on the budgets and what we're working with, there is little we can do
A shame as a real chance give more teams the opportunity to come, and make better use of the budget that Pete gets so that he can go back to his organiser and show what efficient use of limited budget they have been able to make. Win Win for all involved.
Suspect Pete is just busy and will get back to us, rather than not really interested in getting more teams along.
Don't know why my post didn't show up. Maybe I forgot to click something.
Anyway, sorry for the delay, been very busy.
Thanks a lot for all the offers of help. Some good ideas, but not much I can arrange from here.
Our budget for ferry and hotel for the teams is 3k euro including taxes. If you think you can get more teams over then you can collect the 3k when you get here.
You must be able to guarantee that the teams will get here and will be accommodated close to the venue.
Everything must be approved by us before hand. You have 1 week to make the arrangements. If it can't be done by then, I will have to start booking or the prices start going up.
Thanks and good luck,
Pete
Pete, crucial piece of information missing here - how many robots does that 3,000 Euro's bring you ?
Maybe Alan or one of the 'regulars' can provide some detail ?
It brought us:
2x boxers
3x Daleks
1x Skelly+Car
1x Wheelie Bin + Office Chair
4x Mechanoids
14x Heavyweights
The 3k covered just ferry and hotel B&B. Obviously, there are other costs directly relating to the teams but lets just look at the travel costs for now.
Wow can't belive there was only 14 heavies last year, seemed lots more.
There was a few more there but thats all we covered out of our budget.
