The District Executive is continually challenged with balancing the books and ensuring that we all make a fair contribution to the costs of running the District, supporting District events, and providing and maintaining District facilities.
Whilst to date there has been no charge for the use of Welton Site the District Executive consider it is now appropriate for the users to contribute to the cost and not to fund the site out of District monies. In making this decision the District Executive have considered the following:
- We now have to pay the Askews £200 rent per year
- To maintain and improve the site we have purchased significant capital equipment which needs to be insured at cost of £100 per year.
- Consumables to maintain the site are £200 per year
- The cost to fund this solely from District Funds is equivalent to 60p on capitation
- The site is clearly used considerably more by groups local to the site with many groups not using it at all
Forthwith charges will be:
| Use | In District | Out of District |
| Evening/day | 50p/pp | £1/pp |
| Overnight | £1/pp | £2/pp |
Groups in the District can purchase a season ticket for £50.
Any bookings accepted to date will not be charged.
