Tickets arrived today looking forward to the festival

 

[The2i's]

We've received our tickets thanks. We might not be there for the full weekend as we've just acquired a dog and will be at the mercy of dog sitters.

 

[Wombles]

Can anyone that has booked via the form & not confirmed back to us yet please let me know now - Mello are seeing more bookings than we have details of! We are trying to make sure we have a large enough allocated area but bit difficult if we don't know total of pitches needed

[Wombles]

Only just over 2 weeks to go now & Mello are getting ready for us

 

[Wombles]

If anyone else does want to come along last minute please message us & we will check with the organisers if we can add you on at the Funster discount rate We should have a lovely spot just for Fun/RVOC - not too far from the water bowsers, waste disposal, toilets & showers. Reading back over the reviews from last years festival (the first Mello) what stands out is how clean the site was kept throughout & what a great location & atmosphere it had so hopefully the same this year.

This will be only the second Mello festival & they are now down to their last 250 tickets so almost sold out! Should be a good atmosphere with so many people
Booking still open for Sunshine (which also sells out) - message me with your email for a booking form booking at our reduced Funster rate with extra free night camping - more details http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum...unt-offer-new-motown-acts-added.144891/page-9

Don't blame us if it changes but here's the long term weather forecast for Mello from their Facebook page

"First bit of news today is the weather. We were delighted to find out this morning that the sun is set to shine at Mello Festival. #9daystogo#mellofestival #cantwait #excited"

 

[psyfried]

Not long to go now hope the weather report right

Weather forecast is still looking good for Mello with a heatwave on its way?!
Don't forget your suncream & hats

 

[Wombles]

Have messaged everyone coming but still waiting for the map to show our agreed allocated area (think the organisers might be a bit busy at the moment!), any details of the act times (if available in advance) & whether there is any free guest WiFi (long shot but no harm in asking).
Weather forecast still looking good

Think the most important point for us motorhomers is that there are no cash machines so note to self to take enough as don't like using cards at festivals or events - ours had a fraud attempt after being used at a Warners Show

 

[Wombles]

Just heard back - programmes will be on sale at the festival with timings of all the acts & fast WiFi is £10 for the weekend if anyone needs it. We now have the map of the festival layout & just confirming where our allocated area will be ...

 

[Wombles]

The result is that we will have a choice of locations in the family field so we will try & pick the best one to be marked out & put up our flags so ready for everyone coming in
Have had a few last minute enquiries from Funsters wanting to come along so please message by end of tomorrow (Wednesday) if you want to join us too as currently still possible at the Fun/RVOC discount rate!

Bump - last chance today!

Bump - last chance today!

Shame no dogs as could come along

Shame no dogs as could come along

I know - hence the small group at this one. I did query it with the organisers but not possible due to the electric fencing. Lots of meets & rallies at festivals that are dog friendly though this year

Wow - that was great fun! So much good music, sunshine & excellent company - thank you to everyone who came along & shared the experience. Came home tired but happy & I have almost lost my voice after so much singing along to the bands & talking so much! We should have a few new members joining soon too
Busy getting the motorhome cleaned & restocked to go to Newark Retro where we will be part of the marshalling team - today is your last chance to book this one https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/retrofestival-newark-june-2017.148941/page-5.
