SADLY THE RETRO TEAM HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL NEWBURY AS WELL AS NEWARK NOW DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY WE ALL FACE - WE HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THEIR DECISION AND STAND BY THEM FOR 2021!

Full statement here: https://www.retrofestival.co.uk/coronavirus/


Well here it is that time again when we are preparing for the season rallies and you will be pleased to note that the same team of marshals have agreed to give up their time to work these rallies.

The venue is the same and we will be in the same area as before.

Due to obvious increases not only in the rent of the ground but just about all the other cost we have
had to accept a price increase again this year, but it is still a substantial saving over general camping with a pitch that's right in the thick of the action.

So book the time off and fill out the forms and secure your place at a fantastic Retro event.

The booking procedure is slightly different than last year in that it is being done electronically using Eventree, an event management company with extensive experience of large events such as Shambala, Boomtown and parts of Glastonbury.

When you follow the link below to Eventree you will be prompted to create a free account if you do not already have one ( which is really simple to do )

After you have filled the form in you will automatically be taken to PayPal, where you can pay either using your PayPal account or Credit / Debit card if you do not have one.

Once you have completed the payment process and once your application has been approved by the team, you will receive an Email in which you will get a gate pass in the form of a printable window badge ( to get you in the front gate ) and you will receive QR codes for both vehicle and passengers, these will need to be printed before you arrive at the showground.

DON'T FORGET THAT YOU HAVE TO BOOK WITH THE CLUB TO RALLY WITH THE CLUB AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN DO THAT IS TO FILL OUT THE ON LINE FORM

Any questions please contact Adi4 rather than Landylover ( Bill ) as we have taken over as head Marshals.



We look forward to seeing you there.

Adi, Cassie and the Team

Sounds an interesting show, and after countryfile live north cancelled, I've got that whole week already booked off.

I'll discuss it with my Co-pilot ?

I'll be round to inspect your dancing shoes.:LOL:

She dances. I don't. After drinking a pint (ish) I might be tempted to do something that I think is dancing.




Spoiler alert: It's not dancing lol

Those of you that have booked can I ask what attachments did you get with the confirmation email.
All I received was a blank receipt with just the receipt number on it.

Hi there.

It will be the same as last year, you will receive the tickets around 3 weeks before the show,

The only difference is this year you will receive an Email which will contain an information pack and directions, also you will get a gate pass and QR codes which ideally you need to print out and bring with you.

The gate pass will get the vehicle in the main gate and when you get to us on the show field we will scan the QR codes which will let us know where we are going to put you and how many wrist bands we need to issue.

Regards

Adi & Cassie
