99% sure - we've got our quota (actually 22 paid in full) and the South Essex have 21 who have paid 50% - they dont usually ask for payment in full until a month before, its not particularly helpful but its their process and it works for them .......

i am 'in conversation' with them, and they recognise the dilemna. Their 'organisers' are long standing personal friends of mine and i trust them implicitly. For me, i wanted to have all the monies in prior to going away at weekend, just so its one less thing to have to think about.

i will pay the deposit by bank transfer over the next couple of weeks, i just need to go through the contract the aerodrome have sent through - SEC&C are just checking with their treasurer about what happens if some drop out and they have a 'shortfall' .....

we have asked them to open the gift shop on Tuesday, during the time the tours are running, which they have agreed to (again its staffed by volunteers, so they needed to ask)

i was amazed about how much they get in grants from Essex County Council etc ..... the princely sum of £0000 - we are small fry to be honest, they rent out the aerodrome for £10K per day usually, so this isnt a massive income for them, but if its successful in terms of fund raising they will have a 'skeleton' to build upon.
