What it is

Let's put a whole heap of computer nerds in one place for a weekend and see what happens! We'll make sure there's (guaranteed dial-up speed) internet, the rest is up to the people attending. Lanning will definitely happen, but there will also be some people there who are doing hardware/software hacking and coding. Besides that, it's just a great chance to meet some like-minded people and network.

Ideas:

• Spotlight
• frisbee
• dev talks
• project groups developing something (ideally, but probably not) (unless we get really drunk)
• lanning
• movies

• beach lake games

• rock band

Timing

Start on the night of Friday, September 21. Stay Saturday and Sunday, and then leave Monday morning. This means the camp is happening over a weekend and we don't have to line up holidays/long-weekends across 3 universities.

Accomodation

Dorms, $25 per person per night. So we are aiming for at least 40 people. At this stage, we are working on ~20 people from UCC, and are hoping CASSA and ComSSA can get 10 or so each. The capacity of the venue is 80, and it's slightly cheaper if we have more than 50 people.

Total cost:

The total cost per person for the camp is $115. Past experience tells us that few university students are prepared to pay that much, even though it includes all food. As we have done in previous years, UCC plans to subsidise the cost for its members** down to $80. Your club may choose to not subsidise at all, or subsidise a different amount.

**People who are members of multiple clubs must buy tickets through the club they are primarily a member of.

What we need from each club

We need a commitment from each club that they will advertise and push this event to their members. Like last year, we ask that each participating club pays one third of the deposit, which is $100 each this year. "Don't be a dick" rules apply, and you will get your deposit back at the end of the camp assuming nothing gets damaged. This event is pretty huge to organise, and one of the aims of the event is to socialise between computer clubs - it's no fun if it's just UCC! We also need one person from each club to be our contact person.
