I would also like to thank the organisers, Ross, Steve and all the volunteers for making this a very enjoyable weekend.
To say they couldn't do enough for us was an under statement, you guys are just fantastic.
I would like to remind everyone of the purpose to the first Anniversafest meet: To check out a possible 80-90 venue and calender option, perhaps to replace Dubfreeze as it is undoubtedly a superior venue, one that could take us out of the cold into a warm, friendly and sociable enviroment.
Cheap Beer (larger at £1.90) and an extremely helpful and accomodating staff and crew, with fantastic facilities and loads of camping options.
It is a complete no brainer as far as I am concerned and we should make it happen.
Rosso and I would be only too happy to take on the main burden of organising but I personally feel that the event would benefit from having the backing and official sanction of 80-90 moderators so it would be a true 80-90 event and have wider appeal.

I have to say that the venue was great, Ross and the members and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bar and food prices were great and standards high, there's the scope to make this a massive camp. The field's big, flat and well drained, no hook-ups obviously but for a summer meet anyone can last 2 nights and for a winter camp people would have to get their fingers out and come prepared.

Thanks to Rozzo and Martin for sorting this one out and to Ross and his team for making us feel welcome I'm just sorry I didn't feel well enough to make the most of it.

Roll on the next one.

We really enjoyed your company over the weekend. It was like a weekend away for us as well. Frying bacon with a hangover was a challenge. Thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

Mark & Rachel.

Inspired by you visit, Ross & I have decided to put a website togethor. Its a work on progress (only started it yesterday), but those of you who spent the weekend may be interested in taking a look and those who couldn't make it might want to see what all the fuss is about. It could be a few weeks before we get it anything like we want, but I thought I would let our new found friends have a preview.

I was with Ross last night and we were both saying that we can't wait until your next visit. We are looking forward to doing it all again. We were even planning a winter menu with our catering supplier in case you decide to join us in the colder months.

Hopefully See You Soon
Mark.

You'd do a good trade - especially if you provided somewhere to recharge them Ross!
