Yes.
As said, this is the regular price from their website; the full details
are on http://www.jeugdherbergen.be/en/rates-mechelen. They have also
told us that they regularly provide a price reduction of up to 10% for
non-profit organisations; while we have not yet received a formal offer
of this kind, I do think it should be possible for us to get this
arranged.

Correct.

These prices have already been negotiated down from the original price
(which was around €70 - €80 for the cheapest of the three hotels). Note
that they have agreed on a single price for the three hotels.

That's not a bad idea.

This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you
will not go to space today.
