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 wink 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 smile



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

On the cookies idea, I had inteneded to make a load of Jack Daniels chocolate fudge to share out but due to unremembered circumstances I didn't have time to finish making it (ingredients were in the pan when I got a phonecall reminding me I was supposed to be going to see Spamalot that day)

Ah well, better planning for next year needed

At Common Ground (in Adelaide, Aussie) last year someone (Rouge Dragon perhaps) made badges for all the HoPpers who came - with the screen name, real name and avatar on it. Made it much easier to know who was who what with people hAVING two names and all. I lost my badge before play so was a little gutted frown

On a different note someone (twister?) from the play forum posted up about having videos of performers in the shows. I can't post in the forum any more and so can someon give me his e-mail/name one here? Thanks.

Will - was Gremlin_Lou if i remember correctly. smile

Though, that information is totally useless, so I dont really know why i said it. Then again, it was probably to make everyone in this thread jealous that we went to Common Ground last year and they didnt ubblol



(I still have that footage of you there, ive been almost as slack as Strugz at getting it to you, sorry!)

just do what mike did and come with a t shirt saying mikefromglos, i'll do it next year tongue



Won't that get a bit confusing, with both you and mike wearing shirts with his name on?

tongue



well duh, the whole idea of me also wearing a mikefromglos t shirt is to confuse everyone! tongue

someone remind me to make a MikeyfromGlas one b4 the next one :o)
