Help Wanted - Anyone got access to a very large tent?

[jamespels]

Hi all,

we could really do with your help... PSP2011 has more people than we expected and we need a bigger tent!

Does anybody anywhere near Buxton have access to a large frame tent that we could borrow for a reasonable fee? Basic requirements: weather proof; able to sit over 50 people.

Thanks in advance,

James.

Try the scouts - they usually have a marquee or two hanging around and will even put it up for you for a modest fee

Thanks Kim,

we were counting on the local Scouts previously but I think we have outgrown the tents they have available... Quick calculations suggest 5m x 10m (15ft x 30ft) or bigger is the sort of thing we need. There are a few £££s available but not very many!

The other organisers are asking other Scout groups but I thought it was worth a shout in here.

Cheers,

Just made a quick call to a local company who can do it for £225 plus delivery. Dunno what your budget is but if that's any use to you let me know James

[jamespels]

PM on its way...

James, if you need a contribution towards it count me in for £25

[brantuk]

Pm'd back - good luck James

Also try the TA, I have borrowed track from them in the past.

Good thought freff, we hadn't considered them.

Thanks, J.
