Hello everyone and welcome to PLAY FESTIVAL 2007!!
Please forgive me for the lack of info, I have no computer to use and it'll be a few weeks more until I'm able to update it more often. I'll come back and put more up as and when I can.
Hopefully most of this info you'll have gotten from our newsletter, if not sign up to it on the website now! www.playfestival.co.uk
We had a wonderful 5 days last year and can only say that 2007 will be even better!
Thanks to everyone who came last year and who gave us feedback on what they thought of the festival, we've taken all comments on board and hope we can make the festival one that you'll enjoy even more than the last.
The dates for this years festival will be Wednesday 25th - Sunday 29th July and we will be at the same venue, Fordhall Farm in Market Drayton, Shropshire. The tickets will be £35 in advance and £40 on the door, that will include most workshops, 4 nights camping, the shows and other entertainments during the festival
We have lots planned for this years festival, more areas to play in with the emphasis on getting everyone involved, we will have a proper go at the world record after last years attempt didn't go so well (although it does look awesome on video!!!) and of course the usual abundance of workshops to keep you all busy in the day.
We'll have two stages this year, the main stage/tent and and nice little caberet tent, a solar powered cinema, a PROPER bar & food tent and a few more folks selling the stuff you want to buy (even if you don't realise it yet! heheh)
New for this year will be the PLAY HOP Amateur Performance of the year. It's a little competition we've come up with that can be entered by anyone for any type of performance. No more than 4 minutes long with a cash prize for the winner and the chance to feature on the next PLAY DVD. As you might guess from the title the event is sponsored by HomeofPoi.com (who have proudly given us the prizes for our games over the last two years). More details will follow soon...
The DVD of last years festival will be out at some point, probably exactly at the time we plan it to come out
Focusing more on spreading knowledge to learn the arts than the last DVD and we're sure it'll knock your socks off!If you want to contact us about anything please email us at one of the following addresses:
info@playfestival.co.uk
comments@playfestival.co.uk
volunteers@playfestival.co.uk
traders@playfestival.co.uk
If anyone wants specific footage from last years festival please wait until after the DVD is out, Strugz & co are busy enough editing the full thing to start making cuts for people! Thanks
As my internet access is sporadic at best till my pc is up and running, I might not be able to reply to email straight away, if you want to talk to me about anything call me on 07814 018091 and if you don't get an answer LEAVE A VOICEMAIL!
Keep checking the website for the latest information and we'll send out newsletters as often as we can.
hugs & smiles

What is all this gay talk of trugz having a bath? What's that got to do with my t-shirt? Is it a wet t-shirt contest?
Anyway, the vid will be done when it's done. And that won't be this week, it'll be next, cos this week is chronos week. So there.

they should have a slave auction at play
slaves have to perform a simple task for the buyer and the money goes to something I haven't thought of yet... maybe something cool for the following year.I'd do it
but be against capitalism and slap an RRP on myself first to 10p (and that's overcharging) Strugz could earn some dollar
so could meg for an hours tuition A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

horizontal poi stalls was what I was getting at... I could do with a few pointers: seeing as its stalls, I thought it'd be up your street, chutney!
I'm also sensing a 'naff haircut' workshop in the offing....although likely to be avoiding that one if I can get a half decent cut in china: haircut and full body massage for four quid (or less): win!

I meant normal weave plane, but why not go for both if you have time?
