Thank you.

This is what I found out after calling WPRD.

The Mid-Atlantic Mets have NOT scheduled the facility yet as of today Aug. 5th.

They are in possession of our facility application which details what they will pay and the necessary insurance and paperwork.

Once WPRD receives the signed documents, WPRD will schedule them.

The commercial rate for the use of Bridgeforth Field is $26/hour.

If lights are needed then the user adds $10/hour to the base fee.

In addition to the fee, the user is required to fill out a facility use application and must also provide insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 naming the City of Winchester as additionally insured.

FYI -

In the mail today I received conformation of my reservation with WRPD.

After paying the reservation fee, submitting my application and providing proof of insurance.

You may want to ask BEFORE slandering someone's organization on the internet.

If you want me to provide the reservation number I can do that as well.

Hold onto ur britches there Double D. What I posted was the "truth" on Aug. 5th ... after reviewing, I read no "slander", you are the one that posted the incorrect information back on July 23rd which was NOT finalized yet.

Not sure where u got your info from, but I did not slander anyone, so you must stand corrected.

"Finalize" : to bring (something) to a state where nothing remains to be done.

Well you still had things to be done, so it was NOT "FINALIZED" yet as you stated back on July 23rd.

Have a great day Double D.

In running a BUSINESS, you need to be very, very careful what you post.
