Apparently my name was MUD at Hayle yesterday when Hayle decided to increase admission prices from 20 pence to 50 pence and it is all my fault because I started it first FFS!
I absolutely support the decision of Hayle Rugby Club increasing their admission price to 50p entrance.

I think all members of the public should realize that they cannot expect to drive onto someone’s private land take part in a privately organised Community event and spend as long as you like in a safe environment with toilet facilities and Public Liability insured and FREE parking for only 50 pence per adult person! The sooner we follow Up Country prices the better at some Car Boots the admission is three quid, (Ask Rita) 50 p? A bargain!

Now then, my early morning spy contacted me to tell about the 50p increased from 20p but it was as nothing to the cries of ‘foul play’ over the price of estates and 4×4 increased to £10.00 which I must not criticise, next year we will increase to £9.00 but the biggest complaint and in my opinion a totally justified complaint is that large vans are being charged £28.00 which is a huge amount of money and unreasonable! My top price for a large van is tops £15.00 atm.

Just because you have a large van at a boot sale does not necessarily mean you take a huge amount of money, only the very lucky ones do that but to spend £28 quid plus the cost of fuel you have got to take £250.00 at least to cover your stock costs and pay yourself below the minimum wage FFS!

Welcome to Car Boots Cornwall my van owning friends and lovers, nothing illegal you understand! Know what I mean? But fifteen quid tops (extra for setting up early) is all we charge and we are NOT a Registered Charity like Hayle RFC is see!
