Wombles created a new event:
Upton Blues
UPDATE 26th February
With thanks to the Upton Blues Festival Chairman & the committee - this Meet is now agreed!
Anyone interested please read all this below:
Motorhome Fun & RVOC will have first dibs on the same field as we had for Sunshine Festival (known by Upton Blues as the Back Up Field) on Thursday only & if you would like to be pitched in with fellow members then you need to be able to arrive on Thursday between 9am - 5pm & have a Fun/RVOC Meet vehicle pass on display on arrival. To come along to this Meet please book your camping tickets on the Upton Blues website http://www.uptonbluesfestival.com/camping then message us with your first names, registration & email address so we can send the vehicle pass for you to print off & display. This means that after going through ticket entry & getting your wristbands you can be directed to our area by the Camping Stewards without having to stop & ask them & be allowed access to the Back Up Field on the Thursday.
Please note that from Friday onwards other general campers may be pitched in the same field. Alan & I will be parking everyone up on Thursday daytime but we have to apply the same spacing rules as the rest of the Festival camping area which is 2m spacing with 4m fire lanes - if we are spaced too far apart we risk not having an area next year plus other general campers might squeeze in between us!
Full camping terms here .
The area we have been allocated is just off the main field but a great spot with lovely views of the Malvern Hills. For anyone with mobility issues then the main field is a bit closer to the town & Festival. We tried for facilities in this field but not viable so just some Portaloos provided - the water, waste, portacabin toilets & showers are just through the gate in the main field. Suggest arriving with full water & empty waste tanks if possible.
Upton Blues also need volunteer Stewards for the general camping area (you can still be pitched in the Fun/RVOC area) so this is an alternative to buying your ticket. Each volunteer will need to do 7 hours work (in the main camping field for the Blues) on either Thursday or Friday to get a free camping ticket (normally £40 plus booking fee per person). We did this last year & it's very busy but we enjoyed it. If you might be interested then please contact us for more info.
We have started the list now (see below) of those who have booked with the Blues & want to be pitched in the Fun/RVOC area - this will be kept updated. We will get the vehicle passes organised & emailed out soon.

UPDATE 17th July
There will be an informal gathering after arrivals on the Thursday evening from around 7pm in the camping field (probably to one side of the dead tree but not under it as that may be hazardous!) which may partially or fully relocate to the acoustic stage in the main camping field a bit later as some may not want to miss that. Bring your cup of tea (that'll be me
), bottle of beer or glass of wine & come & meet fellow Funsters & RVOC members. Bring a chair if you like or just wander around & put some faces to the names that you know on the forum. Wear your Fun name badge if you want to get spotted by others or not as that's fine too.
We only have one event shelter & decided not to take it to this one as it's not big enough to accommodate everyone & leaving a space around it would probably get filled with tents when others are allowed in to the field on Friday so we will be gathering in the open so long as the weather is kind to us - keep your fingers crossed as it's a fab spot to watch the sun set over the Malvern Hills
Please note that it's best to come with a full tank of water if you can or as soon as you are checked in ask the Stewards in the main camping field where to fill up with water before turning into the Back Up Field which is on the Exit road. We will do our best to make them aware that some may need to do this.
Don't forget to print off & bring the Vehicle Pass (this is one of the conditions from the Festival Committee) as displaying this once past the check in point at the Blues Festival camping will help the Stewards to direct you towards & into our area - you are likely to be refused entry to our area without this but if you forget it then please get pitched in the main field & come & see us on Thursday when it's less busy (probably mid afternoon) we may be able to get you moved but with a couple of thousand expected each day it will be fast moving & busy especially in the morning!
This is where we will be - purple X marks the spot - you go through check in the once in the main large (Big Fish) field you then turn right where is marked Exit & into that adjoining (Back Up) field:
