Too late now. I'm off to bed soon ;-)
At least I know it works ... except for Theresa, who's worrying me a bit.

You need to read this page www.savemiltoncountrypark.com/faq.html
- that's explains how much it costs to run it as it's run now, with
three rangers and all the services they offer. It could arguably be run
for less, but it wouldn't be the same park.

It's actually SCDC who run the park, not CCC (although CCC do own a
chunk of it down the middle - you'll find some more about that here
www.savemiltoncountrypark.com/landowners.html - and they're
basically looking for a way out and, as far as I can tell, at this point
they really would accept any solution that got some or all of the
expenditure off their books.
