Rally Chat Musical Meets 2015

[Jim]

Can we get a list of music festivals where we might be able to rally at, or at least very near. I've emailed Glastonbudget as I fancy running a rally there next year. Anyone know of any local musical weekend we could gather at? Cheers

 

[movan]

Some of the funsters commented on this one, Jim, earlier this year.

This is also something (field camping) that I am interested in and my friends ... I don't think funsters may be interested though. Letting you know just in case.

We camped with the MCC at the Upton Blues Festival this year. The official camping field is just to the north of the river and the field the MCC used was just next to it along the road. I don't know what scope there is for further rally fields though.

or Graham, you could come to the Rainbow one and have tattoo that says 'Shiftzz' in a very appropriate place....

Jim, I'm sorry it's not musical but there was mention of putting a Funsters rally on at the balloon festival in Bristol, any more thoughts on that? I could play my windup gramophone on full volume to make it more musical if you think that might help.

Tattoo? I went to the Edinburgh one once but that's the closest I've been

wasn't going to put this on because it isn't musical, maybe we should have had a second thread, but for those that can't make it up North for the Goth weekend in Whitby, this could be an alternative weekend meet ..

I would like to go to Glastonbudget BUT it clashes with the THETFORD BASH where the the incomparable Rex Factor are appearing.

The New Forest folk Festival near Romsey is a lovely old fashioned Festival and one we've joined up with other Funsters now for the last two years. Its only a small family run affair and they do their own catering and have a bar selling real ales, its in a beautiful setting and I'm sure they would give us an area of the campervan field to be together.

Be nice if we could take the dogs.......

The Ely Folk Festivsl is on in July. We will certainly be there again next year having been for the first time this year.

Didn't spot that Dogs not allowed at the Festival as it's on a school campus. Don't know if the same applies to the camping area though as it was 20 mins walk away at a football club last year.

 

[Carol]

WOW Jim, well you did ask what a brilliant selection. .

Must admit I quite fancy attending the Upton Blues Festival next year.
