hmmm



so me and a few others were thinking of making an event instead of glastonbury, for those of us who couldnt get tickets cuz they were expensive, or those of us who ahd the money and tried for 5 odd hours to get through with no luck



anywho i dont know where it would be most convinient for most people pink said london......seems like a good idea cuz of the megabus and all that



it would be like a mini falmouthy sort of thing i guess.....i could get some bands to play possibly





any takers?

FRD - Almondsbury is off J16 on the M5. It is right near Cribbs Causeway so it's not in Wiltshire - more like South Gloucestershire. As for getting there. Come straight into Bristol and take a bus to Almondsbury which drops you off at the top of the road from Woodhouse Park.

https://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?c...5&left.y=94

what's wrong with a scout field? Doesn't mean you have to "be prepared". If you hire the field you do exactly as you like - no "scout" behaviour involved. People agreed with Bristol - this is about the best you're gonna get, near to a city without being in the middle of nowhere.

The £50 is bloody cheap if you ask me. I don't think - unless you know a kind farmer (then you really would be in the middle of nowhere!) - that you're really gonna get something cheaper.

Well, there's my two cents worth. Good Luck peeps with the organising!

No No. Too much on my plate at the moment. House still not sorted and lots of uni work to do.

If somebody doesn't take control - nothing will happen. frown I suggest somebody voluteer soon if you want this to happen.......I'm sure somebody is capable of ringing them up - finding out if it's EVEN available and if it's not use their internet connection to investigate something else - and if you can't find an alternative ask for more suggestions.

In fact you don't even have to ring them. Fill this in:

https://www.avonscouts.org.uk/woodhousepark/enquiry.htm

Come on guys - you all want this so much but nobody is prepared to put in the leg work. biggrin


I would love to help and will if the person who takes control needs it. But with moving house, working full time, studying for a degree in my spare time and keeping up my keep fit teacher training i haven't got time needed or the brain capacity smile but i will help as much as i can.

Ok another suggestion would be that you instead of setting up your own meet, pick another festival to all go to together. That way you would only have to buy tickets and turn up. It saves anyone organising anything other than picking which one to go to and how to get there. Take a look HERE if you need ideas. There are plenty of them.

methinks liquid_bubblegum is a leader of men, no? biggrin

I wonder if these "wardens" would be ok with us spinning fire around and being noisey?

right on the band front we got the dj, my brothers band, maybe one of my friends band who'd do some kickass covers, we need to sort out something of an area of wood or something to put amps etc on if we want bands

it may just be alot simpler if we rented out a rig or soemthing from somewhere near this place and everyone baught some music they wanted to spin to or something

clap Yay! another organised person.

Fire spinning should be fine - after all the fire at the Bristol Juggling Convention i don't think they're really gonna complain.

ok here goes so far, lots of info for you guys to digest tongue

spoke to the warden, and even though the 24th is a busy w/end they may be able to fit us in, but the w/end of the 1st has more space if peeps are able....

hes got a committee meeting next week (5th) where they discuss who uses the fields etc hes going to get back to me on the 6th and let me know.

the fire etc doesnt seem to be much of a problem because apparntly they have like a 'juggling workshop' organised by john carter in september (12th - 29th)...........and this happens every year, they have those large tent thingys and shows!

anyways he said that all music is to be stopped at midnight, and there are power points on site.
ok think thats everything so far, sounds quite good to me but will have to see how the meeting goes.
