=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


 * 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)
