That would be such a shame as reading this thread and looking at the pics, it seems to me that the majority had a great time!

Just read that too, a real shame, when so much effort has been put in by everyone and a cracking job has been done each and every time

However when they're trying to do something for free, and there are huge costs involved, I guess this is the outcome - victim of their own success if you like. I'm sure the negative comments must have hurt though.

However, at least everyone who has attended, and witnessed it virtually can really be thankful they've had the experience.

However, all is not lost - there could still be a VF 2012 Maybe the could merge it with the V-Festival and take over that?

There's such a huge demand now, someone else will probably jump at the chance to organise it

What can I say . . . Wayne & the Vapefest Committee have done us as Vapers proud with the events that they have organized.




It would be such a shame if they didn't ever happen again, but I can understand why Wayne and the Committee would like to step down.

My only hope is that they can see beyond the few carping people and look at all the pleasure that they have bought a huge number of us, with the voluntary time they have so freely given.

If you really are going to make this your last Wayne, bow out on a high . . . you damm well deserve to feel very proud, all of you.

Funny how one persons view of an event can have such an impact......

Life's like that Benny The complainers allways seem to have a much louder voice than the happy/contented/not overly bothered people

[bennyboy]

Yeah. Shame really. Hope it will go on, as I've read quite a lot of people's views on it, and fancied going to the next one. Great coverage from the members on here, which gave a good account of the whole thing

[eyebrook]

I really enjoyed it and I was still in Spain, great pics and vids on the Forums

[jayjay]

That is tragic.
Very sad read. People can be so critical. Did not everyone see waynes r shirt soaked with sweat!? Well I take my hat of to yo wayne.

Vanessa has just sent me this photo.

[Perpetua]

Lovely photo of the three of you Jay.

[Chrissie]

That really is such a lovely photo & I also take my hat off to Wayne.

I had a fantastic weekend, so many old friends and even more new ones have now been made. Ellen coming along at the last minute made it even better Everyone asking where Jason was on the Saturday morning, or if he really did look like his avie piccy! Perpy and Bel writing all over Matt's' friend's pack of cards And don't forget the puppy Jason arriving and putting the biggest pile of Griz liquids, pens and key rings on the table, that seemed to dissapear as soon as they arrived but I think I now have the worlds largest collection of vape escape pens so if you want one Blakey let me know .

The list of things just goes on and on.

The initiation ceremony in the bar on Saturday night was hilarious I hope you remembered it was in there come the morning Whufu lol (oops sorry big dick lol)

I think we may of worn the vendors out by the evening and they all went off and hid somewhere so we couldn't keep tryin to buy everything they owned lol

I've got loads of photos to put up tomoro, some good, some bad (I think maybe the camera was a little squiffy )

And I was lucky enough to go for a last minute coffee this afternoon with Jay and Kurotothingymajigywhatshisnamefella

I read Wayne's post on ECR and I honestly didn't realise just how much effort went into it. All the Vapefest committee and organisers have my utmost respect for a fantastic event (it wasn't crowded, it was cosey ) and I hope somehow it's able to be repeated next year, although it is getting pritty tough to top it. If it ran seamlessly for the entire day it wouldn't be "ours" it wouldn't be "UK" style. I really cannot put into words how much I appreciate everything you guys did to organise the day. There wasn't a moment with nothing happening. We arrived at 10am and the next minute it was the raffle and packing up for the nights festivities time.

It's not about gloss and perfection for me, it's about getting together with your friends and having a right good laugh, feeling comfortable and enjoying yourself and that's exactly what happened for me I mean where else would you not be looked at like a freak for laughing at someone choking lol

And to be honest, with all those vapers at an outside event there was gonna be a certain level of moisture in the air anyway lol. We are UK vapers (well we are AAE-C but you know what I mean), we can do rain

Oh and if Gordy says he's run out of juice bottles he's fibbing

*disclaimer* There maybe excessive smileys in this post but I don't care cos I had a bloody good time

Shall we just stick with "Kuro", and call it quits?




(btw, I keep meaning to gather my thoughts and post a trip report on Vapefest, but I haven't had much chance to sit down at my PC since I got back ... so hopefully tomorrow ...)

[Ellen]

Finally got a chance to read Wayne's thread, can't comment on any of the main vapefest event as I wasn't there, but everyone I spoke to had a great time and I know I was grateful for the after party
So a big thanks to all the organisers anyway, clearly a lot of hard work went into it #icon_welldone#
