We had a deal with campsite 'Berendonck' near Nijmegen, and prepared
for that. It had toilets, water, basic power infrastructure to use
during buildup... But then we had to cancel the deal and switch to the
backup field, being Geestmerambacht. Without any infrastructure at all.

A campsite with power infrastructure capable of hosting our kind of
evets does not exist in NL. Our power consumption is extreme in it's
properties, both in power consumed as length and structure of the
power network.

However, we could of course arrange some small generators to power
parts of the infrastructure during early stages of buildup, like network.

No, it is more that because of the withdrawal of hardware, software
and an expert team(!) we had to focus on inventing the basics, and
having a good system for reimbursements moved to the lower priorities.
It doesn't matter much if it's done on paper, as long as it is
processed by a team on site or shortly after.
