3.1. The organisation committee propose that the fees for Autscape 2019
(as posted to the list on 3rd March) will be as follows:
Fees are per person. They are for a standard single room or a place in
a shared en-suite bedroom.
Adult: £299
Child (6-16): £169
Young child (0-5): £74
The age used is the age the child is on the first day at Autscape.
Supplement: £25 for an upgrade to a single en-suite bedroom.
Discount: £25 off your fee if you take a place in a shared standard
bedroom.
3.2. The organising committee propose that the fees for the extra night
offered as an option at Autscape 2019 are as follows:
Adult: £84
Child (aged 6-16): £39
Younger child (0-5): £19
Regardless of room type.
3.3. The organising committee propose that the fee payment and cancellation
policy for Autscape 2019 is as follows:
The deposit is £50 per person. This is due approximately 3 weeks after
a place is allocated. The registrar will inform you of the exact date.
The remaining payment must be received by the end of June.
No refunds for cancellations are given after 10 July 2019.
Autscape reserves the right to pass on bank charges to you. If you are
paying by international bank transfer you must pay the bank charge.
When payments do not reach us on time Autscape reserves the right to
re-advertise the place.
Deposits are not refundable. The registrar has the discretion to refund
child and dependent deposits.
3.4. The treasurer proposes that we accept payment by instalments for
Autscape 2019. The treasurer will be responsible for organising the
instalment plan and liaison with participants.
3.5. The chair of the Bursary committee proposes that in accordance with the
Bursary policy bursary application for Autscape 2019 should be
submitted on the bursary application form provided during the
registration period (exact dates to follow). Bursaries will also:
- Be available for all room types.
- Not be available to cover the extra night, apart from in very
exceptional circumstances.
- Consider travel as a reason for a bursary (or for a larger bursary,)
but will not be available as a separate award.
- Be available for non-participating carers without the need to justify
this by financial hardship.
In most cases be set amounts:
6 x £150
6 x £100
10 x £50
(Total 2K) - The bursary committee has the authority to vary these
amounts with £1K set aside for this purpose, larger bursaries or
latecomers.
3.6.1. The treasurer proposes that a Discretionary Fund be established for
organiser & presenter expenses, to the value of £1000.00.
3.6.2. The treasurer proposes that the Discretionary Fund is administered by
the treasurer and one other director, who are each delegated
responsibility by the board for co-authorising payments from the
fund.
3.7. The fundraising co-ordinator proposes that Autscape accepts a £100.00
goodwill donation from the Autism Arts Festival, as the festival shall
feature Sparklies in the Dark.
3.8. The fundraising co-ordinator proposes that the advert used for Asperger
United is also sent to the Autism Arts Festival to be published in the
