<P>The area of most concern to the Expo Treasurer will almost certainly be the
travel expenses, for journeys to and from Austria. Transport is notionally
coordinated by the Expo Treasurer (see later) with the objective of getting
all the people to Expo at minimum overall cost (consistent with reasonable
comfort, safety, timeliness, etc. :-). Typically, some people are helpful

The ferry, fuel and toll costs for these vehicles are normally refunded in full.

<li>
Some vehicles travel to and/or from Expo with half or less of a full complement
of passengers; in these cases the costs may or may not be refunded, or refunded
in part, at the discretion of the treasurer. The decision is normally based on
whether the car was under-utilised because the driver was too
inflexible/uncommunicative to fit in better with the Expo transport plan,
whether the inefficiency was unavoidable. Where a vehicle goes off elsewhere
before or after Expo, Expo usually pays for the 'useful' part of the journey.</P>

<h3>Part 1: To and From Austria</h3>
<p>With regards to claiming back on your travel costs to and from
Austria, please see where you lie in the following table:</p>

Later on, there'll be the job of determining who the full, semi-independent and independent travellers are and which vehicles are funded in full or part. This may be a bit iterative, depending on how helpful and communicative various people have been.
Examples:
<ol>
<li>
Bill and Bob go to expo. They drive and take the ferry. It costs them &pound;150.00 total. They each have their own kit but also Ben's kit in the back. Bill and Bob both pay &pound;60.00. Ben pays &pound;30.00.
<li>
Jen and Jean go home from expo. They take the train and a plane from Salzbug. It costs &pound;150.00 total. They each have their own kit in their bags and have also brought 500m of expo rope in a suitcase. Jen and Jean both pay &pound;50.00. Expo pays the other &pound;50.00.
<li>
Ben goes to expo. He likes to live the high life. He buys a trip on the Eurostar from St. Pancras to Brussels followed by a sleeper to Salzburg via Vienna and a local train to Bad Aussee. He gets his friends to bring his kit. It costs &pound;3252.54 in total. Expo gives him nothing. Ben pays &pound;3252.54 in addition to &pound;30.00 to Bill and Bob for taking his gear.
</ol>
<p>
Exceptions to this scheme will be made at the discretion of the treasurer. If you had so much expo gear that you couldn't see your steering wheel, for instance, expo will likely repay a larger portion of your costs than half. Please get in touch and state your case if this applies to you.
<h3>Part 2: In Austria</h3>
<p>
Full fuel expenses may be claimed by people who drove in Austria on the toll road. These vehicles are considered "fully expo funded."
<p>
If you used your car in expo and it was NOT on the toll road but you think you deserve compensation (e.g. if you did a record number of supermarket trips) please get in touch and state your case.
<h3>Part 3: How to Claim</h3>
<p>
If you know how to use the BoE, please enter your travel costs as a Split Expense, charging the relevant expo virtual account. Email me all booking confirmations or receipts (or get them to me by any reasonable means).
<p>
If you do not know how to use the BoE, please
(a) write it in the bier book, and
(b) email the treasurer photos of all receipts as above and also details of your travel. That is:
<ul>
<li> Details of who was on the journey
<li> Details of transport used
<li> Details of gear brought (expo kit / personal kit / friend's kit)
<li> Details of how much it cost
</ul>
<p>
If you have already added your travel to the BoE (some of you have) please either amend your entry or let me know the details as above and I will amend it for you.
<h3>Part 4: Allowance for Car Owners</h3>
<p>
A car allowance can made to owners of Expo funded vehicles to cover wear and tear.
How much this is and whether it includes an element for extra motor insurance cover
is determined by the treasurer; recently it has been &pound;80 including insurance and &pound;50
not including insurance (which was paid separately if requested).
Partially funded vehicles were given a proportional allowance.
However, as the car allowance was started when we had problems getting enough cars, and this is no longer the case,
the treasurer may make it optional, or direct it towards skint/unwaged car owners, as appropriate.
An 'options' page in the Bier Book may be used to let people sign up for a car allowance.
<p>
Please get in touch with the treasurer if you think this applies to you and it
will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

<H2>Travel expenses - How it used to be done (pre-2001)</H2>
<p>In the first 25 years or so of expo all transport was to/from Cambridge. This has not been the case for several years.
<p>There used to be a specifc expo travel spreadsheet with weightings for the travellers but the complexity in recent years
has made this infeasible and much mroe is left to hte discretion of the treasurer these days.

As well as the cost of transporting gear,
there is the job of determining who the full, semi-independent and
