Morning All.
Ive had a plan.Ive been looking for a site for next years camps, and i thought hell,why not buy a site between us.It would save me the aggro of moving all the camp gear to and fro for starters.I know hells angels do this because of the similar stigma of renting out fields for their gigs.
Ive been looking round the local areas and it seems like its 7-8k an acre.
Ive plans of dropping in a insulated green painted shipping container with a few bunks,a sink,fridge and toilet,and a log burner,and I've found the fridge/freezer and flushing toilet already.
So the unit could be used virtually all year round with the fund members having exclusive use of the cabin.although they would have to draw straws on camp weekends as there would probably be only 6 bunks.TBC..
Ive also an idea of building a 200 yard shooting range,and some kind of outdoor activity stuff for the kids to go wahey on,i.e. aerial run way etc.The site could also be rented out to tossers for a spot of camping, again fees drawn in would offset costs.
Im probably looking for around 4 members plus me who don't mind shelling out around 8-10k, it would be an equal split on costs i.e. water,septic tank,shipping container etc.I don't think there are rates on such land.The other option which crossed my mind was to split the cost of buying a key between two people,say two chaps wanted to spend 5k each and share the key.The would need approval by the bulk of the main key holders.
The shares would be equal and if the share needed to be sold,it could only be passed on to another tosser at cost price, there would be no mortgage on the land, i would like it paid for in full in a shared and legally binding contract.
Also the site could also be rented out to other clubs etc for events etc and the funds used to offset running costs.
Theres also another option of a lesser financial input,this would give infinite rights to the woods and toilet facilities but a main key holder could override them in the queue for the bunks and the sub key holder would probably have to camp in the woods.There are many internet gurus on here who could evolve a internet based diary system to book the cabin etc.
Another option i thought of was 5 keys shared by 10 people at a rough cost of 5k each.
I'm open to ideas, and I've a few sites I've spotted near canterbury,and if anyone spots a suitable site would they let me know please, ideally sited with electric,water and an access path/road.
Any other ideas,post away.
