Yesterday Mike and I collected the new DSC marquee. a snip at £190 reduced from £250.

It is 5.4metres in diameter, no central pole and I can stand up straight with my sholder to the inner wall. It is big, we could have gone for a 9metre version, but my poor old car roof wouln'e take it cap'n. Plus it was nearer £900.

As I'm a bit poorer now I will be collecting donations from regular DSC'ers we thought £15-£20 each would do it, any extra funds collected will go to the society coffers.

well I guess any spare money could go towards a gert fan for blowing clouds away with. Or snow if Sue's prediction turns out to be accurate...

Hi all,
do we need any form of wetgear or waterproofs with this marquee?

We are assured ;-) that it is waterproof.

Paul, i'll somp up £20, but I may need to kip in it on the friday night because I'm in a rush, is that ok?  

Well actually I think I did that with the last one as well?

Whitters

Nice one, I'll reserve your usual space.
