FAD EMEA 2008 - Proposal: Save Money at the FAD EMEA 2009 with a Scouts Cottage
- Problems
- FAD EMEA costs lots of money
- Ambassadors budget is tight
- FAD EMEA is growing (in terms of attendees)
- Proposal
- Replace the hotel by a scouts cottage
- In 2008 the hotel costs CHF ~2500.- / 19 persons
- Examples near Zurich (easy/fast to reach from main train station or airport)
- Pfadihaus Schmitte (Seemöve)
- City: Kreuzlingen
- 28 beds in 2 rooms
- 1 mid-sized workign room
- CHF ~600.- / 22 persons
- Pfadiheim Breite
- City: Winterthur
- 48 beds in 4 rooms
- 1 big working room
- 2 mid-sized working rooms
- CHF ~850.- / 22 persons
- Pfadihuus Dietike
- City: Dietikon
- 32 beds in 1 room
- 1 big working room
- CHF ~550.- / 25 persons
- Pfadihaus Schmitte (Seemöve)
- Advantages
- Savings of at least CHF 1500.- for the accommodation alone!
- Working room and accommodation in the same building
- We could cook for ourselves (e.g. buy pizza at the local super market and bake them in the cottage's kitchen)
- Disadvantages
- More people have to sleep in the same room (same for bath rooms)
- Beds are not that comfortable
- Everyone has to bring his own sleeping bag
- (Not all cottages have internet, but it should be possible to solve this problem)
- (The cottage must be cleaned at the end, but there's normally an offer to have this done for about CHF 200.- which is reflected in the prices above already)
