  1. Looks class! The 1st week in September is normally one of the best weeks weather-wise aswell. Must look into heading down to this for the weekend
  2. One word makes me not want to be there.

    Travis.
  3. And 1 post lets me know you wont be there and thus i should possibly attend

    Thanks
  4. Just a pity its on the weekend after the picnic, don't have the longevity I used to!
  5. You could go into hibernation for the week and then head to it

    i'd be the same too, though getting the time off work for such events are tough
  6. Yeah, its a possibility and I wont have the shackles of a job holding me back! Well worth it to see Supergrass, is the fest actually on the beach?
  7. I think the gigs are in venues set up around the town and then the surfing and stuff is on the beaches I think.

    Trying to get some interest going on their wiki it seems
