Rally Chester Food Festival 2019

I can't remember whether this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread, but make sure you have received an email with your booking confirmation.

The dining club offer interrupts the booking process and my son realised yesterday that he didn't complete the form and therefore had no ticket.

A phone call to Briony at Camperfest got it all sorted :-)
 
We will be arriving Thursday 18th April leaving Monday 22nd April. We have booked with Electric but please can we not be near the generator this time. Thanks
 
Hi Mellors
I will add you to the list. The marshalls will be there from Wednesday so we should know where the generator is located. Please remind the FUN Marshall on the gate of your request when you arrive so that we can do our best to keep you away from it.

I have just booked Piccolinos restaurant using the card that was given to those attending the Festival. I had to chase them up because nothing came in the post or via email. Once received I rang the restaurant direct and they had all the details on their system.
 
Recieved this email this morning, I expect others did too, but it may be of interest.

Dear Camper

It's just two weeks now until our event and we are really looking forward to getting underway. It seems we have been working on this for ages and with a bit of luck we might even have some decent weather. The point of this email is to confirm a few facts you may already know;

  1. The winter has been very kind, we have had little rainfall in Chester and the water table is very low. What does this mean, firm ground and good camping. If it stays this way the prospects are good for a great weekend
  2. Rain may intervene between now and your arrival and if it does we will have our tractor on standby on Thursday and Friday for all arrivals and then from Sunday at 4pm and of course all day Monday. On departure we will have two tractors if necessary on the Monday. Hopefully we wont need them at all but if you need them we will have them for you.
  3. The only information you need to bring with you is your email confirmation. You can print it or simply show your phone or i-pad to our check in staff.
  4. When you arrive at check-in we will give you your wristbands, your show guides and all the information you need for the weekend. We do not send them about beforehand because they have a habit of going missing. This is the best way.
  5. If you want to camp with friends the best way to do that is to arrive together or park up and wait for your friends to arrive before checking in. Saving places on the campsite and then people finding you amongst 500 is a difficult task.
  6. When you get your Camperfest programme this has all the times of the Film showings, bar opening and closing, nearby food places, dog shows, quiz night and of course all the highlights of the Food Festival.
  7. Dogs are of course allowed on the campsite but not in the indoor areas at the food show. Please ensure they are on leads and that you clean up after your dog, as all good dog owners do.
  8. You may have BBQ’s on site but these must be off the ground.
Hopefully this covers things you might like to know beforehand and all of these and more are on the CamperFest website under FAQ’s.

We look forward to seeing you in Chester and hope you and your family and friends have a fabulous Easter

Thanks again from the CamperFest Team

Glad I read that Janine (y) checked our bank statement and no money had gone out although I got an email with confirmation of the dining club voucher the booking had not gone through, anyway all sorted now.

Thought I'd paid for my tickets back in November but Briony had no record of it, thanks to the folks on here who mentioned missing tickets, prompted me to check. Rebooked this afternoon and still got the early discount !

You're welcome :)

I think there may be a few people caught out by the dining voucher cutting into the booking process.
 
We have secured lighting for the marquee now, and we will have one of the new defibrillators. Is anyone who is coming trained in their use?
 
Yep, I’m FPOS trained but im sure more able and trained people than me will be there

The Gruppenfuhrer might be based on the first aid stuff they do in the fire service?
I will ask her...

Update: The Gruppenfuhrer confirms she has been trained in use of defribrillators, says you don’t need training as it should “talk” you through usage, but she is happy to go through it with peoples if interested.

BTW - whilst my parents @Organplayer player may have booked electric, just in case my facetious remarks may have caused confusion, we have not booked electric.

Have added ourselves to the list for swimming and advanced swamp manoeuvres. Diving in on Thursday evening most likely.
 
We are booked from Thursday, but may have to arrive Friday, may be called in as emegency childminders on Thursday
 
Now we have lights for the marquee, does anyone want to organise any events, entertainments etc. I believe in previous years there have been cake and bonnet competitions. If so, please let me know so we can schedule it in

I've put a few flags in with the lights so if anyone wants one get a tenner to me at Peterborough (y)
 
Ok. I ordered one a couple of days ago. I guess you will have posted that already??
