Some of you may not know this but there should be some funds (around £700) left over from a couple of ceilidhs we organised several years ago, as a common fund for the local dive clubs. Aberdeen SAC have been keeping these funds in their account. AWL have paid for the portaloos each year, which is quite nice of them (publicity or not) so any extras (e.g. money to the farmer) should come out of the common fund, which should be enough to keep this going for a few more years. I don't know how much dosh the farmer is getting nowadays - the first year, which I organised, he was initially happy with the bottle of malt we gave him but when he saw the number of people who turned up, he started making "money noises" (talking about the equivalent of a pound per car). In any case, I don't think there is a need for anyone circulating a bucket this year, at least while there is money in the common fund!

Personaly i would be thinking along the lines of 'ask AWL'. they have had a lot of advertising through the solstice meet every year, so maybe they can pay part of it
after that... a bucket, a few people and 30 mins to ask everyone there to contribute 50p or 1 pound....just needs a few people to do it..oh, yeah, students ![]()
