Whilst I have not attended many RTV's in last couple of years I have no objection to the prebooked fee being raised from £12 to £15. What about increasing the onday fee to £22-£25?

Pam, next time Dave suggests Australia, make sure he agrees to staying a bit longer. Like 2 or 3 months minimum! What can I say, great country, great people(apart from customs)and awesome scenery. Join up with Aussies on camp site, you invited to fire, get cold beer thrust in your hand and get fed! ...
