Will see you there  

I'm wondering if we should consider a different type of festival? We pay a lot of dosh to go to this show but always end up doing the same thing: partying at our camp. Personally I'd like to try maybe a music festival and we have a club camp there. I'd like us to discuss this further and then put it to a vote.

A music festival sounds great to us.

I can recommend Larmer Tree but I'd rather do both - I really like Camperjam - maybe we just need to vary the format a bit. Party one night in the Kombikabana and enjoy the music on offer at the event on the other.

Not been that keen on the talent they've presented over the years personally, that's why I'm thinking a show that has a variety of acts would be more of an attraction. And as far as the show stands go, we've seen it all before haven't we? Just brainstorming.

Personally, and we've only been to two Camperjams, we saw a number of trade stands that we didn't see at the first one, and bought some things that we wouldn't have got if we hadn't gone to CJ13.

As for music, we only went last year because Alison wanted to see The Beat (they didn't turn up of course, but we did get to see them at Larmer Tree this year). What we saw of the entertainment this year seemed pretty good to me. We would certainly have stayed longer in the Tent (I think this BAND were on) if the generator hadn't cut out. David, Amy, Dennis and Minnie had the funk upon us and ended up dancing outside the Durty Bus to some hip-thrusting ska and reggae. "I'm gonna put on a iron shirt and chase the devil out of earth" as Max Romeo would have it...

Each to their own, musically, I guess. We're pretty eclectic (albeit a bit stuck in the past as you'd expect from a couple of my/our age) - I always enjoy the 70s playlist better than the more modern stuff but that's to be expected from a man who now only listens to Radio 4!

It would be shame not to get together at CJ14 but I reckon we'd go anyway, particularly as it's one of the closer events for us. Attendance at a Music festival would be great as well, although choosing which one from a style and geography might be tough.

Certainly food for thought - maybe we can chew the fat about it in France over a glass of red...

Sounds like some thought needs to go into it , so we need to throw some ideas together, I'm sure we can work something out, I enjoyed cj as absinthe says plenty of variety of music just unfortunate about the generator. We will be going to cj14 it's a lot better than vanfest!!

Indeed. I'd like people's suggestions for festivals next year and then we can look at what suits the club best. It would be nice to get a variety in over the year. We'll have a new thread for that.

Camperjam wins for me. Unless the music festival happens to be in Ibiza

IBIZAJAM, now that's got a ring to it!!
