OK then, as most of us AREN'T going to Detling this year... :-D
I would like to organise a little festival on the August bank holiday weekend. This will involve live music, beer, camping, that sort of thing. At the moment it's just an idea, so perhaps some of you can help make it happen.
I've been looking at marquee hire and such - it all starts to add-up very quickly, so if anyone has a marquee or military tent to lend for the weekend that'd help. I don't actually have a venue yet, so if anyone knows of a suitable place - a field or two, with room for a couple of marquees (one for music and one for drinking/falling over), tents for the happy campers and parking etc. I'm in Colchester so I'm aiming for Essex or Suffolk. Maybe you've got some land that'll be empty for the weekend?
If any of you have stalls (militaria, ice creams, hot dogs, funny hats etc.) and you want to come along please do it
I'm currently in conversation with PRS about licensing, so all help in that area much appreciated too. If you're in a band, or know of any musos who would like to play (don't think I'll be able to pay 'em much) please give me a shout.
Something different, eh? A non-military weekend will make a refreshing change I reckon.
