All looks a bit weird to me - includes a 12 o'clock shut down of Magical Sounds, which is fine by me, but not what they say. He either knows something in a major inner loop kind of way, or is as mad as a box of frogs. I can't fathom which. Do I go with the flow or revert? I just can't decide - are you out there, Hayfield? Where are you getting your info? BTW I did notice that Gail posted that Muddy Summers are playing saturday not friday and the line-up page has changed to reflex that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your pick Google now saying showers Saturday and raining pretty much all day Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Sunday is a trickier sell, but if it really had been 25c all weekend with no cloud cover it would have probably been a little much. Yes, I like the security of knowing there will be no rain, but with these more sensible temperatures, a light dusting from the rain fairies on Sunday might be just what we need. ...and its still better than we have any right to expect at this time of year, so its all good.

cham08 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 24 hours today. Bring it on. Field, beer, music what is not to like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Amazing_Oblong Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Pretty much packed last night as I am out for a Birthday bash tonight. Meeting the crew for breakfast at 9am tomorrow. Aim to set off around half past and should be on site for gate opening at 10. It's local to me but I was still surprised how many people I knew there last year. Seemed like every turn I bumped into a familiar face. Ready, set ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roasters do a great breakfast and would be my recommendation - http://www.roastersrestaurant.co.uk/roasters-ventura-park-tamworth/ Edit - Menu http://www.roastersrestaurant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/roasters-Ventura-menu-2017-ONLINE.pdf Edited May 24, 2017 by The_Amazing_Oblong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkythetortoise Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Anyone know somewhere closer to the site? Got a longish journey so thought I'd set off today and staying overnight in a travelodge on the A38 - almost walking distance from Catton Hall. Roasters looks good, but its way to go for breakfast!

If you are at the Travelodge nr Barton under Needwood then I would highly suggest a visit to Barton Marina. It's a beautiful marina but I'm not sure what time the places in there are open as we normally visit in the evening. Worth finding out though, should only be a few minutes from where you are, possibly walkable. http://bartonmarina.co.uk/ Edit - Just noticed the cafe there opens at 9am.
