ProgSFest 2005, October in the UK

Just got this info from the organizer, Shaun:

progSfest 2005 will take place at The Olympiad Leisure Centre, Chippenham
on Friday 14th to Sunday 16th October, 2005.

__________________ The Line up:
____________________________________ Friday......... ARENA
__________________________________________________ _____ £10 adv.

____________________________________ Saturday..... Also Eden. Galahad. Pineapple Thief. Magenta
__________________________________________________ _____ £18 adv

____________________________________ Sunday........Tr3nity. Strangefish. Gordon Giltrap. Mostly Autumn
__________________________________________________ _____ £18 adv
_______________
Fri/Sat or Fri/Sun £25
Sat/Sun £32
Full weekend £40

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.

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.

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...

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!!!!

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?)

Talking

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.

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.

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?

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