It has been an absolute godsend at both Big Chill and Bloom these past couple of weeks but sadly the high winds and bad weather at both festies have taken their toll and it is still usable but does now require gaffa tape and extra bits for additional support. If we didn't have it at Big Chill, there's a good chance I wouldn't have recovered form my grump and would've packed up and gone home - the weather really was that horrible. I feel that it would be only fair for us all to chip in towards the cost of the gazebo. In fact, what would be even better is if we could contribute enough to chip in for some of Gh0sty's fuel in carrying the bugger around, and for another gazebo when this one eventually kicks the bucket. So please donate what you can folks - you know it makes sense! Even if you can only afford a wee bit - from little things, big things grow. xxx _________________ If what's in your dreams wasn't already inside of you, how could you even dream it? festivalchooks PM Daddy for special rank!

Being a poorper its hard. But would wilingly pay a little more on a door to see you guys n gals get that better more substainable shelter. As i had a great time with you at glade from what i remember I will make a small donation on payday, but would mucho lurve another meet _________________ Nothing better than the FW family man.

Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2008 8:16 am   Post subject:  Re: Festival Weather Lounge Fund   all true but a meet up rarely makes any money as the amount on top of ticket needs to be about £10 meaning the ticket would be about £17. Everyone winces (despite spending at least twice that on 'entertainment' and I'm no exception) and it gets dropped again. We'll inevitably have a meet up Robbie because we're like that but this should be achievable between everyone who has enjoyed the FW lounge and would like to again? A tenner or so? Yes I am well aware that we need a new server more. Can we persuade/badger/bully people over the winter for this? How much will a new server be please? _________________ To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity.

We chipped in £50 with the idea that some would probably go to maintenance and some towards the gazebo. 'Tis true tho - meets do not necessarily make any money. Maybe we should get something donated for a raffle... or we could have a bake off!! _________________ If what's in your dreams wasn't already inside of you, how could you even dream it? festivalchooks PM Daddy for special rank!
