See my comment above, while replying to Daniel and continuing with the current situation I completely ignored everything unrelated with accommodation or food. >> [5] It's also possible to use their kitchen and cook our own food. >> The organizers of RMLL in Geneve this July told us that they were >> able to hire people to cook for them for 8.- CHF per meal.

This will be my final email on this subject and I will reply for myself only: it was an option I considered, even knowing that cooking for our own would have costed in other terms (time and organization, just imagine to find the volunteer for that). And, frankly speaking, the RMLL had *one* meal (lunch) for 10.00 CHF per person (I was there), while no breakfast and no dinner. The lowest estimation should have then be 30.00 CHF per person per day, thus 87'750.00 CHF in total. Please note that there were almost a period of 4 month before the bid during which anyone wanting to follow on with such an option could have come with a *feasible* proposal: if I am not wrong (please someone correct me), there was no sign of such a proposal. The fact that in the end Le Camp did not allow us to cook by ourselves is another point. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
