Rally Upton Blues Festival Meet 19-23 July 2018

With thanks to the Upton Blues Festival Chairman & the committee - this Meet is now agreed! :hi5: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! :eek: 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 will be starting the list now of those who have booked with the Blues & want to be pitched in the Fun/RVOC area but as we are off to the CCM NEC Show soon we will catch up with all your replies, queries & messages on Sunday/Monday. Hopefully we will get the vehicle passes organised & emailed out shortly after that.

We'll be there but don't know if we'll go on the main field this year so we don't have to lug the equipment so far. Also, would our non-Funster band members be welcome to park with us on the rally field? @Wombles

Sorry have arranged something else,

Thank you for your efforts,(y)
 
Thanks Karen for all your hard work on this one. Now booked and paid, and forwarded details to you.

John aka Scottie.
 
Sorry, after all the wombles efforts, we will not be attending, not sure such a close encounter with neighbours would be good for the dog and the town does seem as it would be to busy for dog walking. Thankyou wombles for all your work.

Thank you for letting us know. Funsters can still have awnings, windbreaks & shelters (y) so won't be cramped but just can't leave lots of big empty spaces in between like we can sometimes. Lots of lovely dog walks across the fields by the river but agree that the main part of the town & festival venues will be busy.

@westhamman, you know your pooch better than anyone but as Wombles says, there are some nice dog walks along the river, a couple of dog friendly caffs in town. We visit the Blues setup at the Rugby Club with our two, where you can sit on the grass and watch the bands and have a wander off across the back fields with the hounds if they're getting bored.
 
Tickets booked. Hoorah !! Negotiated the Thursday off babysitting so should arrive about 2pm ish. Best alert the Cash and Carry to get an extra pallet of Brown Ale organised for July, and maybe a small bottle of wine for the good lady. Yeah Right !

Thanks for organising this Wombles...................................Now about organising the heatwave ??
