Its gots loads of lines through all the writing. It says it is full
Can people still turn up and get a ticket?
They are only small and wont take up much room.
Yes, thats it.. can 4 people turn up on the door and get the £25 tickets?
or
Can we simply buy tickets on the door?

Just got back...thanks for an awesome weekend Firegathering Team. You all did a great job, the whole thing improved massively since last year, it's just a shame the weather dealt you such a rough card
And the location
I hope you'll be staying there for a few more years!!
And thanks to the random strangers who helped push us out of the mud on our way out, I hope you didn't get all mud splattered like Jo!!

I hate rain.
Thanks to everyone who helped to organise it!
Just an idea: I *really* missed bacon sandwiches. and sausage sandwiches. and a meat platter. Actually just meat in general
I know vegans/ vegetarians go hand in hand with hippies, but some of us arent hippies!

Brilliant weekend!
Funniest part of it was watching jon and scully take down their tent in torrential rain. Sorry guys it cant have been much fun for you but we thought it was funny.
Massive thanks to strugz for getting me that curry, that has to be the tastiest vegie meal ive ever eaten.
And obviously thanks to the firetoys guys for putting it on, ill do more work next year i promise!
I think it should be a rule that all festivals have a sauna and jacuzzie, its exactly what you want after a hard days spinning.

well that was an ace weekend... even though by the time i got my arse as far as the jacuzzi they'd already turned it off an it'd gone cold so i didn't bother!
with the party vibe rolling through sat night the rain certainly didn't put too much of a dampener on things.
Highlights for me were:
Getting pissed an watching beatboxers on Fri.
Finding a nice field to practice in before it rained...
Acro balance wrokshop with Taff on Sat Afternoon (thanks Ben!)
Managing to pull off the fireshow despite wet sticks (which were damn annoying) and the odd tangle.
Watching, meeting and at last buying a CD off the lads from Bad Science (i've been waiting since october!).
Comming back from 9-5 down to win game of Fussball with Tom.
Bouncing around on the swimming poool cover till daybreak on sat night/sun morning...
Glad everyone got back OK, well done to the fretoys crew for putting on such an awesome weekend and roll on Play!:D
