LAST EVER MK
Avro:
I imagine it can be a right ball-ache at times organising such an event, someone has to dot the i's and cross the t's; boring stuff but without it there would not be an event. I am so surprised that some think the cost is high, what planet are they from?
I am more determined than ever to chat to more of you this time, something I failed miserably to do last time! I will also bring bikes again to add to the show, may even enter one or two as I think they are sweeeeet!
Again, sad to read a little despondancy in your post. Is there anything the average member can do? Litter pick? Help fold it all down?

Did MK15, MK17, doing MK18
If it ends, it ends, I've had some amazing memories from such a short space of time.
Last year I saw what went into only the build side, I couldn't imagine how all the organising and prep is sorted. People forget its not some special event like Glasto were people are paid to organise everything, the RAD MK creators and planners have to go to work and a life to live, all the numpties that moan and moan about the changes to MK seem to forget that.

First off
No-one has to come for the entire weekend (or at all for that matter) but the ticket prices were carefully calculated to get us as close to covering costs as possible
None of the radmins get a single penny out of the Rad pot - in fact quite the opposite, you usually find that they've paid over the top as well as giving up their own time. If you added up all the time taken to do 'boring' stuff and tried to get people to do it commercially you'd struggle
As for charging for kids this year? They are very welcome of course but they still take up room if camping etc and they will still get fed & watered for free on Saturday. If someone wants to have a very cheap family day out there's still the option to come on Sunday and not pay a single penny. £10 in a pub on Saturday anywhere wouldn't last long even buying kids' drinks would it?
Even with the money from site tags, charging for tickets and selling stuff like calendars and tee shirts it's still a massive challenge putting this event on at this price - I know because I'm looking at the budget right now - here are some of the highlights (although it's by no means an exhaustive list)
Marquees
Public Liability Insurance
PA
Generator
Ramp Construction
24hr Security
First Aid
Toilets
Skips
Free Bar
Hog Roast
Trophies
That little lot is well over 10 grand and that's before we even get Bob H over from the US of A
Dunno why I feel the need to explain anything, people should know the score by now

I can not believe there’s people out there that think the price of entry is a “piss take”
Free bar on Saturday
A few bargains to buy,well worth the coin
I mean fook me,it’s not a cheap hobby is it!?!?
Bet they’d do 20 odd quid on a bloody nos nipple to go on their nos cable
I bet to man,not one of them would say it to your face it’s a “piss take”

£25 a pisstake. Whoever said that is an idiot. Refund their money!!
