Lowedges festival / re-enactments sun aug 9th

[SmartMarts]

thank you so much for your nice comment,we do need a few adjustments and changes

in some areas,but we will sort out those and hopefully improve the event in 2016

 

What a brilliant event!! We were first time traders on the day (Save the Children Goes Vintage) and we thoroughly enjoyed it - thank you for all the hard work on so many different levels by you and your team of volunteers.

 

Just a couple of points... could you maybe print out a timetable of events for the music, dogshow and re-enactments as so many people asked us what time certain things were happening. If you charged just 50p for them, this would probably cover printing costs?

 

Also, we heard another stall holder complain that the re-enactors would have cost the organisers at least £1,000 for the day. Now i would imagine that these people are so passionate about their interests and hobbies that they would be glad of somewhere to see and be seen and to participate in any event they can and that they would attend at their own expense. Is this correct? I only ask out of curiosity as i was very impressed by their attention to detail, the costumes and the displays they put on and hope they can return next year.

 

Anyway it was a wonderful day for everyone, you are always going to get moaners no matter what you do. Ignore them.

You are perfectly at liberty to answer questions posed on this thread. Please don't imply that the forum is at fault here.

the problem is I would like to answer the question but its not easy and when I tried I was told that the forum wont let me answer the question in the way it needed in my opinion to be answered,but I will try this the cost of re-enactments coming from all over England,many bringing caravans and staying overnight doesn't come cheap,but they agreed to come at a special price of half what scc paid at Norfolk park in the past as it was just a 1 day event and have booked for 2016 onwards with us thanks

Bassett One,

 

You had visitors from as far afield as Finland and Hinckley this weekend (as they were visiting me) and we all really enjoyed it.

 

I agree that there are a few tweaks that could make it even better, and some already mentioned. I may also be able to offer my services to help with something you mentioned previously, so if you'd like to discuss, please send me a PM (I live across the road from the park anyway)

We didn't say anything like that at all.

 

We told you to stop spamming the forum with new threads to advertise your event and bumping just to advertise without adding anything to the thread. This is not at all the same thing as responding to queries and posts on the existing thread.

 

Please stop claiming that we're being draconian when all we're doing is asking you to stop breaking forum rules by repeatedly spamming.

Hey Medusa just leave Bassett one alone. I have total admiration for a person who uses the forum to advertise a community event. Your reply is pathetic. There are plenty of other threads (in the Eating out section in particular) created by large corporate businesses that are allowed to run threads with hundreds of posts.

 

Well done to all those involved in the Lowedges Festival. 15,000 visitors is incredible. So pleased the weather was good after last year. Good luck in 2016.
