<h1>Expo Transport: people and gear</h1>
This page is an index to other pages with the information you need (updated 2018).
<p>
The logistics of getting 20 or so cavers and half a tonne of miscellaneous gear out to Austria, on a shoestring budget with a limited number of cars, and people coming-from/going-to various places are daunting. The job mostly involves collating info and badgering people regularly. Starting early saves everyone money.
<p>
Organising transport is one of the biggest nightmares and the sooner we know who is going and when, the easier this gets. Getting a second (non- refundable) deposit off people helps to tie them down.

The expo handbook assumes (in places) that it is the Treasurer who organises transport; or by default it gets done by the expo leader. This is probably not a good idea and a dedicated transport coordinator should be nominated. This must be someone who has been on expo before, and who can liaise closely with the treasurer on decisions about allowable costs.
<p>
Entering data: we have had no particular problems requiring all expoers to hand-edit HTML or Markdown tables when stating their travel plans. This is somewhat surprising.

Rumour has it that we paid for a pallet of gear to be transported to Hilda's using a commercial courier at some point in the past.
