Carfest @Laverstoke Park Farm, Hampshire, 25-26 Aug 2012

Hey Guys
Chris Evans of Radio 2 is trying to organise a Carfest (bring the family) event/festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend
Visit the Radio 2 website/his Blog/Tweet etc. for further details
Still very early days yet but have sent an email expressing our interest in the event
Thought it might be something other club members would be interested in - there will be cars, stalls, bands and camping amongst many other things
We understand the event will be held at Jody Scheckter's Laverstoke Park Farm, Nr Basingstoke in Hampshire - some of you may know that name!
It is a charity event with profits going to Children In Need
As we have said, it is still very early days but if you are interested . . .

Sounds good, will check it out.

I'll go if he gives me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He knows it should be mine really.

Sounds like a great event sadly I'm already booked that weekend

Sounds fab but unfortunately will be coming back from Spain that w/e (not in the van I hasten to add).

Over heard on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show this morning . . .

Camping will be for Friday and Saturday nights
There will be cars, all kinds of food and even buffalo ice cream?
They are booking the bands and the group Texas will head line the event
Chris was hoping to get a lot resolved by Easter so tickets would be available after then!

Sounds like it is coming together - def up for this one - and all the profit goes to Children in Need

Keep on Looking/Listening/Tweeting/Blogging for further updates

Hi Olive

Has Scooby missed something?

There was an ad in the Sunday mail live mag, there is a ticket company dealing with it, I will post the details when I get home.

Just had a look at the ad, tickets go on sale this week subject to licence and range from £60 single day with children £10 to £170 2 adults 2 children for both days including camping, you will just have to keep checking the website @ carfest.org

Thanks Olive - have been told they will go on sale this Wednesday

Heard this morning on Chris Evans show, tickets go on sale tomorrow @8am. You can view what's on offer on the Children in need website beforehand.

All tickets are now sold out - they were all gone just after 8.00am this morning
(There were only 64 campervan/caravan permits available any way)
So unless you were one of the lucky few this event is now closed for booking

Sounds like it was very popular, doubt it will beat The Kombi Sleepover for atmosphere though!

Too right

did anyone get tickets for carfest?

Tried for the camping option but failed to secure any tickets

Tickets did sell out pretty fast, so we decided we would exhibit at the southern show,not only so we could join the party but also create some interest in our new business - should be good

Would be interested in seeing some pics of the event - maybe a few words too?

no problem will have lots of pics and words - also look out for Enzo on TV - channel 5's Celebrity Wedding Planner Series 2, starts tonight at 10pm, four episodes and we, i think, will feature in the fourth

do you know of any other Brazilians on TV?

Yep a light blue AquaBay featured heavily in the first series of Channel 4's 3 Hungry Boys a couple of years back. Also Ruby - ex Snailtrail hire - appeared in an ep of Dr. Who. They feature here and there.

excelant, its good to see other actor kombi's have troden the boards before us, though Enzo is keeping his tyres firmly on the road and not letting his 5 minuites of fame go to his cabin. After all it come out very badly as it rained (surprise surprise) and the fact that chose to decorate him in floss!!
