Well, it would be great but I agree that we could save money by dropping the conference dinner on the boat which is CHF 14'102. Then the whole budget for the day is like CHF 13'785 (55 CHF per participants if 252 participants). I have not included in this calculation coaches back from Neuchâtel. People would arrange their own food and pay for it in the evening or go back early to Le Camp and eat at Le Camp (They would have to chose that in advance). > >Did we calculate > >that much for in the budget? > > That isn't very relevant to my view on whether it's a good idea to > spend so much money on it.
