Vapefest thank you's . . .

[Perpetua]

Have to go firstly to the organiser's of the event, Wayne especially did a fantastic job of the organisation.

To the generousity of the Vendor's who gave some fabulous prizes . . . most of which we won, one way or the other, incredible good fortune.

To the Moat House for their hospitality, the Carvery at lunch time was simply delicious!!

A larger venue next year would be good, about 250 Vapers attended the event I understand, there was a real crush to try and get to the Vendor's tables to look at their goodies. . . but it can't be easy trying to find a venue that can accomodate that number of people and be so liberal about Vaping.

Lastly, it was so lovely to meet our Member's and put faces to a name . . . I take my hat off to, Mrs River & Mr Jemima, both non Vapers who couldn't have found all our vaping talk that interesting but were there to support their spouses.

Just like to second what Perpy says.

A great event and really well organised by Wayne, the committee and the Vapourmists with their coverage.

It was a pleasure to meet you all and you're actually even nicer than I thought you were (but don't tel Bel I said that).

Great to see Perpy for the day as well, just a pity you couldn't stay for the drinking afterwards

I think we were the last out of the bar in the early hours of this morning and if River had have got his way, we would still be there now

See you next year

[River]

It was a good session though........and bel was bladdered

[deesigner]

Bel was totally sober when I left just after 7pm! I will not have her good reputation slurred Mr River

Sorry Bel but you're on your own after I left

[VE Jason]

Well if anyone wants to go and walk over the bridge near the Moat House, just take a look in the planters that are hanging from the railings and you will see Bel's WKD that she hid so that she didn't have to drink it.

I think at one stage on Friday night she had 4 bottles on the go tut

Greedy is our bel...........

[safercigs]

I am stuck at the hotel lols as i cant drive yet so had to pay for a extra night i guess as u get older it takes longer to sober up

[River]

make sure you sleep on the bed this time lol

[bel]

Well what a fab weekend, agree with everything Perpy said it really was a well organized event. I don't think they were expecting such a large turnout lol.

Carvery was yummy

Was great to finally put faces to the names, what a great bunch of people on our forum Your all fab yes even you Jas lol

I was very very lucky on the raffle :-[ I shall never again say oh i never win anything A big thank you to the vendors for donating such great prizes and contray to what is being said i didnt win them all lol honest

[steve386]

Big thank you to the organisers and vendors who donated the prizes. Still can't believe I won a Provari. The only thing I've ever won on a raffle before was an extension lead when I was 15

Had a great weekend and it was really nice to meet everyone.

Special thanks to Daz for lending me his nice shiny Provari on Friday night. My battery had run out on the GG and my spare VV eGo decided it didn't want to turn off when I released the button. Got a little hot.

Also to Jason for the echo cartomizers. These look like an ego tank atomizer, but are actually a cartomizer.

Thanks also to Griz for letting us test his box of juice samples.

Got a couple of piccies to upload in a bit

What time did you finish last night (this morning)?

[profbeard]

I had a whale of a time - wish I'd managed to meet even more people than I did

[Jemima]

A huge thank you from me too. The organisation was superb, the raffle unfortunatly was fixed it seems (j/k it was not but some people may take me seriously), the venue was cosey

It was great to meet you all, and amazign how many of you look like your avatars I wish I had gotten to meet more but got so carried away chatting with the folks i had met already lol So my apologies if I missed you.

I learned lots of great info, met wonderful friendly people and bored the ears of griz and jason I think lol I had a blast

Thanks Perpy for the swapsies and Kingtut for the lift home and Griz for the tips, adivce and tasteing session (both me and Gordy enjoyed that) and Jason for the goodies stashed in my coat

Oh and a big thanks to Blakey for buying so much Whiskey Cream that Jason could buy us all a drink lol

[Scylla]

The fumes of enjoyment are wafting over this non-attender

Can't wait for more pics!

Like Prof, I didn't get to meet as many people as I'd have wished . . . where did the time go to!

Next year I shall stay overnight, so as I can enjoy a few drinkies.

Believe it or not, I got quizzed at Cheltenham Spa Station by a railway employee, after a silly woman reported me for smoking. Amused I wasn't.
