When the website is up and running for ordering tix, I'll post the url. We had a really good time here last October. The venue is a leisure centre/ town recreation centre. The room for the gig was downstairs, small, with stage and attached watering hole. The weekend is organized by one very dedicated person, and it would be nice to see him break even and maybe even make some pennies for his pocket this year.

I like this lineup!
 

gets me thinking...

Beat me to it mossy.....
 

It's 99% certain I'll be there for the weekend.

There is a very nice Curry House in Chippenham.........isn't there mossy? :D

Hmmmm this poses a problem for the danish contingent

I have to be in England the weekend after as my niece is finally getting married - the big question is can I get 10 days off or do I come and go twice? I will be in Chippenham all right.

where is Chippenham? if you tell me which shire, I can find it from there...

The Chips are down..........
 

Chippenham is in wiltshire. A little off the M4 motorway (which is where Heathrow airport is).....:D

Are you thinking of visiting Jim? Let's discuss...................

Re: The Chips are down..........
 

me too. I have never travelled, but think this is a perfect opportuinity.

Re: Re: The Chips are down..........
 

Great news Rick................we'll make plans and see how they go. It would be a highlight of the year if you could get here.

Re: The Chips are down..........
 

Well, my Germany trip doesn't seem to be developing, so I'm seriously considering the "trip to chip"

looks like a good lineup - Gordon Giltrap caught my eye...

Rick, you'd have a great time. Make it happen.

Excellent curry house, k. Second to naan. :D

Am not ruling out coming. Depends on a few things...

ouch! OK, maybe I won't go if jokes like that abound...

no, I'll probably be there.

Follow your own advice mossy love..............Make it Happen

No Argie Bhaji :rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: The Chips are down..........
 

Please......it might be in the top 100.....:p

I'm definitely going!!!!!!
 

If I get the job at Clarence House I won't be there for the Arena gig as that will be the last day of my contract but I will be there for the Saturday and Sunday.

I think it's time to start making plans.

Let me know if you are thinking of going and when I have an idea of possible numbers I'll check out hotels and see if I can negotiate a deal for Moonies. I'll also arrange the tickets with Shaun the promoter. There shouldn't be any problem with those.

It would be GREAT to make this a real Moonies outing and I promise to be on my best behaviour......................NOT!!!! :eek:

It would be an ideal opportunity to promote Aural Moon too. Maybe get some flyers printed and hand them out to the prog fans there.

Let's make it happen!

from a novice...
 

Yes I will be there. I'll talk to Vax at Rosfest to get the scoop on the travel plan/what to do. I've never booked an airline ticket, etc. and need to map out costs.

If you're on you're best behavior....I'm not going.

Everything else is in place, and I'll be ready!

(is Clarence House related to Clarence Sale?)

THAT is great news, k and Rick!

Rick, k and RM stayed at The Angel last time, but don't let that put you off. :D

Would recommend the B&B we had, but it's a bit of a ways out. Still, k doing a 1/2 lane (by US standards) cowpath at midnight after a day in the venue lounge would be worth a trip in itself.


m

well, not to be outdone by Rick, I'll commit too. being a travel junkie, I can take of my own plans (mostly), so be sure to help Rick.

Keithie, I'll take you up on the offer to get tickets.

The Angel seems like one of the few hotels actually IN town, correct?

Great news Jim.............. :D

The Angel is 5 minutes staggering distance from the venue.

Don't forget I will be there too!

Looking to see if the site was up yet, and found this review from last year.
