CUCC and Expo have separate bank accounts, often administered by separate people; both are run to break even over the year. Expo works in partnership with CUCC to prevent unnecessary duplication of resources; CUCC equipment is used on Expo and vice-versa. Apart from these mutual efficiency gains, Expo and CUCC do not subsidise each other.
Reasonable Expo expenses recorded in the bier book will be refunded. The Expo treasurer determines what is reasonable, but generally Expo only pays for what it gets, and only buys what it needs.
-The daily costs of Expo (food, campsite fees, gaz, fuel for stoves, dishcloths, etc) are added up and a per-person-per-night cost evaluated. Each member is then charged according to the number of days he/she spent on Expo. The number of nights on expo, and whether they were at basecamp or not, are recorded in the Expo Bier Book

Define responsibilities early!The bugbear of the Expo Leader if he/she hasn't managed to find a dedicated person to do this. This is a co-ordination/coercion game. Ask everybody when they would like to go to Expo, then match those without cars of their own to those who have cars and will take passengers. Try to make sure that each vehicle that will be funded by Expo will be as fully utilised as possible (for emissions minimisation as well as cost).
+ +This game is combined with the job of getting people to commit to going on Expo at all, as some people will only go when they see their friends are going. You want to get some keen definite people to say when they'll go, then advertise this on the social media so that other people will say 'I'll go then'. Keep everybody informed of the situation with regular emails and posts to social media. People will normally see obvious car sharing opportunities, but don't be afraid to make suggestions. It's important to include the whole lists, not just those who've said they'll go already, as we always pick up a useful number of experienced latecomers.
+ +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.
+In some complex cases, the process of assigning everybody's respective traveller value and deciding which vehicles Expo will fund is a little iterative. The treasurer aims for an overall fair settlement.
Once all the traveller values have been assigned, the total cost of the Expo-funded vehicles is divided in proportion to each member's value. This is done automatically in the Expo spreadsheet.
+Cars can qualify as “serving Expo” for their outward journey and/or for their return journey.
+To achieve “serving Expo” status, the car will taking an acceptably direct route and be
+transporting either:
+• Three or more expedition members (including driver) for most of the journey.
+• Two or more expedition members (including driver), plus an appreciable quantity of
+communual equipment for most of the journey.
Cars that fail to meet these criteria may also be considered to be “serving Expo” at the discretion of the expedition treasurer.
+The transport pool will pay for fuel, ferry and additional insurance/breakdown cover (see +the note below) costs incurred while a car is “serving Expo” if receipts for such costs are provided. +The expedition will not pay for road tolls (it is perfectly possible to drive to Austria from the +UK without incurring any tolls), fines, any aspect of costs incurred following a breakdown, or for additional equipment legally required to drive to/from Austria.
+In addition, car owners are entitled to a wear-and-tear payment for each direction their car is serving Expo.
+
Where a car is serving Expo in one direction only, Expo will pay some of the additional +insurance/breakdown cover costs and half of the ferry fare only.
+The pool will cover the costs of ’plane, bus and train tickets for those who are forced to fly +from the UK due to a lack of car space.
+Expedition members may exclude themselves/their vehicles from this scheme and travel
independently, but are then responsible for funding their costs.
Vehicle insurance for an additional driver to assist in getting +to/from Expo, and breakdown cover, will be met by the transport pool, so long as they cost no more than £100 together. In the event of them adding up to more check with the expedition treasurer, with details of what you propose.
+Excess BaggageSimilarly to transportation of an independent traveller’s communal gear, bag surcharge will apply to anyone taking significantly more than two such bags of personal gear via pooled transport. Please don’t.
+Should there be insufficient transport available for communal gear the cost of freighting (with insurance matching replacement cost) will be split per person.
+In AustriaFuel and parking for all vehicles being used for communal purposes (i.e. communal shopping and going caving) will be combined and charged per day spent in Austria.
+Driving unrelated to Expo (“Jollies”) must be entered on the appropriate page in the Bier Book, and will be deducted from drivers’ petrol allowances. It is the driver’s responsibility to enter swaps to distribute the costs between their passengers.
+ ++The toll road cost will be shared equally across all caving members of the expedition.
