Rally Retro Festival Newbury August 2023

[Lenny HB]

As we have our tickets I got me dancing shoes out.
See you all on the floor.

 

[Lenny HB]

Well...ain't this modern tech sh1te! And then your phone battery will fail at the most awkward time, probably mid google trying to find where you left your wallet!
Print the tickets, put them in an old envelope (recycling eh?) marked retro fest, store on that handy dashboard at the front of the van.
Old school, I know, but I've seen Led Zeppelin live...1971 Bath Festival.

Anything important I copy it to my wifes phone and upload it to Google Drive.
On Drive I can access it via any web connection and we always have two phones, two tablets & a laptop with us but no help if we have no data signal.

Booked and paid on 20th May and getting a bit close and haven’t got tickets yet.

Ignore my last, found them in junk!

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

I've seen Led Zeppelin live...1971 Bath Festival.

That was just a practice for the Nottingham Boat Club the following week, when I saw them!

Ready and waiting for you all.

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

Just got the grass to Cut?

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Its a few inches in our area, not exactly overgrown, and reasonably firm. I don't think the tractor mower fitted through the gate, before said gate and post were removed by the RVOC guys.

 

[Lenny HB]

That makes a change its normally about a foot high.

Better than 2021
Edit . Then a year later in 2022 ,the field was like straw !

That post was on the floor when we got here, we guessed the tractor driver took it out on the way out of the field lol

Not for long

 

[MillieMoocher]

Setting off later today, but not in the Funster area.
SWMBO is driving the van down and Im driving down in the Citroen 2CV as an exhibitor, so are in the exhibitor area.

Do come and say hello if you see the car in the display area!

 

[Kannon Fodda]

May I confirm after having had a few questions:

There is no EHU on the funster area. This has been confirmed a number of times in this thread. Your price is discounted to reflect this. As we are on the showground ares generators are not permitted.

Toilets / showers are locked but should be open later.

Wristbands will be handed out sometime later.

That's a shame, I was looking forward to episode 2 of how my cassette isn't working properly

Well done Rob - a well organised set up & sure it looks quite a bit fuller now. Just watch out for the seagulls with your al fresco cooking!

Could they afford my rates

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Wristbands will probably be issued Friday. Please hang onto your tickets as they may need to be scanned.

There may be some printed programmes / show guides available from Friday at the information tent (somewhere on the showground).

A further reminder. GENERATORS CANNOT BE USED. They will be turned off and you can be required to leave. You agreed to this in the T&Cs when you bought your ticket.

There is a bar open this evening, by the hanger (big building next to the funfair).

You would have competition Graham, we’ve heard raysalaugh has a strimmer …

 

[Lenny HB]

Where were all the Funsters on the dance floor last night?
Apart from Hippychippy & ourselves didn't see anyone else on the floor.

A very poor show from Funsters me thinks.

I suspect a lot didn't know it was happening. It was a late schedule addition.

It's not on the program, it's just put on for the campers.
It was in the Black Hanger, there was a Duo on around 6pm, then about 8pm a Rock N Roll band (I can't remember who) followed by Rocking the Joint quite a good band, seen them a few times. Finished at 11pm.

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

[St3v3]

We were in the hanger. No dancing, just drinking and chatting
