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



Dunc hug

Well I've done my best to stop the weather gods' little joke.. I was going to cycle to play cos it's only 55 miles away, but now that my neighbour (who I've been selling the idea of coming along to) is coming too, I'll drive. So with nobody to point and laugh at as they tip water on his head as he cycles along them there weather deities will just have to give us sunshine now..

Problem with British weather is that you can never really predict what it's going to do more than a day or two in advance and even then it can end up completely different.



Talking with my colleague today who was a meteorologist in the Navy (oh yes, I work with all the cool people), he tells me that the problem is that the areas of high pressure are much further south than they usually are at this time of year.



So, Yoo Kay needs a high.

Anyone got any ideas? biggrin

Was on the phone to my dad. They had 38C on the weekend. mad2

Anyway. I'm still blowing clouds away. Managed to sit in the somewhat-sun in Glasgow for a few drinks today, so maybe it's working. After all, I've been told I'm a witch.

Is there any chance that when you guys are setting up the site, you can put the camping at the top of the hill, so that if it does bucket it down, everyone's tents don't get flooded and personal posessions ruined, please?

*weather girl voice*

And there is a large area of "high" pressure *broad hand gestures* moving slowly north east due to high consentrations of hippy patches in the Shropshire area. This will mean a high pollen count in surrounding grinders.

Thank you and good night wink

yea, but the "thank you" part is just a bit odd...

.. Well, unless it refers to the cash you just handed over... biggrin
