[Crazylegs]

Not having been before, is it worth taking a scooter or bikes? Or is everything within walking distance? Tia.

Understand that camping area is just just a short walk (over the bridge) from the town but not been before.

 

[Janine]

Depending on where you are parked, the town is indeed just over the bridge. There is a small Co-op supermarket, some restaurants, lots of pubs and a chip shop (where the queue stretches around several blocks) all within a 10 minute walk

 

[Tortie]

We will be arriving about mid afternoon Thursday. Have not been to the festival before and will look out for flags etc. Would appreciate any advise on which part of the field to look for MHF.

I hope this works - if not, search for Upton upon Severn on Google maps.

You can see the festival field with a marquee and some campers. You can also see how big it is!

Perhaps the Funsters could pick a tree to park by?

 

[RFS]

I'm planning on being there for opening so will look out for a flag or stickers.

[Wombles]

Hope to see you all there If we don't manage to be pitched near each other then maybe walk around & look out for Fun signs & stickers to say hello.

We'll be the ones making lots of noise - feel free to come and bring your chair over. We are also on the campsite stage Friday at 1pm, Sunday at 4pm and the social club 4 to 8 on Friday

 

[Wombles]

Right we are here & Grahame the lovely festival chairman has agreed for Funsters to have first dibs on the smaller field on the right! It isn't exclusively ours but they will only pitch others in it once the huge main field is full. Look out for us with our Fun badges - don't know if we will be able to pitch you up but we can point you in the right direction. As you drive into the main field stay on the track then take the exit turning between the first & second trees on the right then don't take the pedestrian entrance next to our motorhome but carry on the track then the gateway to the field is on the right.

 

[Wombles]

It isn't as flat as the main field but you may have friendly Funsters around you & not far through pedestrian entry point to water, waste & good Portaloos if wanted. Showers are a short level walk away. Will understand if some prefer to be in the main field but would be great if a few do join us & maybe make a proper meet possible for next year. We will be working as part of the volunteer team on Thursday & Friday but around more after that. Can't get internet on the campsite so messaging from the town so going offline now but hope some see this.

That sounds good. We hope to arrive late afternoon on Thursday.
How easy is it to fill up with water there?

 

[Crazylegs]

That wouldn't be the little field that bares a passing resemblance to a wine bottle cork would it ? We will happily camp in the smaller field.

 

[Janine]

That's great news! I wonder if you mind the rest of the band pitching in there so we can all be together? You get free entertainment

[Wombles]

We will be more human once we have finished volunteering tomorrow - total of 3800 people booked in so it's going to be busy! Keep your fingers crossed that the weather holds Great atmosphere in the town tonight

 

[Antique]

We turned off the main track, but got confused about where the actual field entrance was, so on the main field. will try and make it over to see you all sometime over the weekend. Assuming we are sober and it ain't still pouring down !

 

[Ven]

Lovely to chat to the band today on the way to town before the heavens opened. Had a few hours at the Plough listening to Sicknote Steve - Dad found a sheltered spot.
Now recovering from Old Rosie listening to the rain on the roof.

 

[brynric]

That's ok. I'm here now, and filling up with water fairly quickly.
We watched some of Sicknote Steve, met up with some old friends, planned to venture out this evening to watch another couple of acts, decided against it.
The beat of rain on the roof is quite rhymical!

We played a very lively couple of sets to a very raucous crowd this afternoon in the social club great fun The rain didn't dampen anyone's spirit.

 

[Lucky one]

Sounds like you're all having great time despite some unfavorable weather....hope to be there next year....

 

[brynric]

A very enjoyable weekend. Many thanks to all involved. Nice to meet some new faces.
We'll be back!

What a fabulous weekend! (Apart from the weather, which tried but failed, to dampen spirits) Bands everywhere playing great music - just wander over to whichever you want to listen to. We (Bridgnorth Ukulele Band) performed three gigs which all recieved a magnificent response from the crowds. We met some great people and had a 'bostin' time. Thank you all.

Wyn

 

[Janine]

Another Fun filled weekend Thank you, Karen @Wombles for arranging the field so that we could all park together!

 

[Brisey]

We too had a great weekend despite the weather..
Our thanks to the Wombles for setting it up.
Brisey & Pamelaaar.
