Poi in the Punt 4

Hi Folks,

Poi in the Punt is back for another year. This will be the 4th such occasion and we look forward to it being bigger and better than before.

There will be one or two changes from previous years to cater for the fact that there are more and more people coming each year (Guy can only put up so many people in his house!) and some changes to the format of the day as well (all for the better I hope). Needless to say, there will be punting, spinning and general silliness.

Unfortunately I have been very slack and not edited the video from last year, I might do a short promo vid closer to the date but in the mean time heres a link to the video from poi in the punt 2 to keep you going.

As usual please post your interest so we can get an idea of numbers.

we have a facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=516089666#/event.php?eid=46398331877&ref=mf

ok so a few more details on the rough plan - its in this order(ish)

afternoon - go punting
evening - barbeque/fire in a field somewhere
night - go to a largish sports hall (high ceilings for jugglers!)
next morning - go to a cafe for breakfast

We're working out the details now: the more people come the lower the cost basically:

the price to rent the hall overnight will be about £120, so on the basis of current confirmed numbers we'd be asking for a £4 donation on the night from those using the hall, however if that goes up oto 40 we'll reduce it to £3. Basically, we're aiming to keep this as cheap as possible.

If you're wondering about the size of the hall, have a look in the 'howard mallett centre' gallery on www.camcircus.org to get a vague idea: basically think roughly basketball court size with very high ceilings

NB we're also looking into arranging free punting this time (since it looks like we'll be able to get more cambridge uni people along)
If this fails, we do our best to dig out discount cards, but it's about £14/hour/punt. A full punt takes 6 people, so that's about £2.33/hour/person in a full punt. We probably won't go as far this time as last time, so it'll probably be around a two hour trip, leaving plenty of time to go and buy food/alcohol for the barbeque.
