That reminds me.....steve@stevenj top guy, thank you for saving the day, karma insured you were rewarded with a nice little raffle win 
I think VapingBad rum was 'off'....that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 

I'm still in awe of the boot opening rescue operation arron. We were all hunting around for a bit of wire to pop your boot lock with (my best attempt was ... one of the coils you get on a keyring, about 3 inches unwound and stiff as a post, lol) and someone turns up with this SQUARE of coathanger-gauge wire from God knows where that did the trick. How do people in festivals manage to carry such things?

See the previous picture of me chomping on a marshmallow skewer, it was one of those.

That's another item to put in the festival 'must have's next time I pack then DiscoDes

Glad you all had a great time guys, any idea on how many people were there this year ?

[PinkyPuff]

Thank you for photos!

Oh clairea I forgot to answer you last night - no unfortunately you didn't win anything in the raffle.

[googled]

Amazing that one guy won two prizes considering it was a maximum of five tickets and at least 9,000 sold (if the tickets were consecutive).

Working my way backwards on this thread . . . but just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who made my Vapefest 2014 memorable.

To the organizers - Wayne, Fiona, Ukric and all the many others whose names I don't know.


To DiscoDes, who as always safely transports me there and back to the venue - and managed to haul me back to the hotel in a state of extreme inebriation, with me whinging every step of the way! His photograph posting skills are now legend.

To our Toilet Monitor, arron - we couldn't find the Ladies Loo Block on Friday night ( can't think why ) so Arron stepped up and escorted us ladies to the Gents, stood guard and scampered around finding us loo paper. Arron you really were the most gallant of gents, thank you.

To Dave davetherayon, our resident Rayon King . . . who again was so very generous with all his giveaway envelopes of Rayon.

To VapingBad, for the use of his camping facilities  . . . . and that 60% neat Rum.


It was a delight to meet so many lovely new people from our forum, Pepperty, teethcv, ronaldo, dagl, googled, GunJack,djs being some.


And a pleasure to catch up with old friends, deesigner, Di, @spikeyfridge, Phoenixflame (Julie) raid2506, chrisjw, Bluefish and his lovely wife Lesley.


Loved it.

It was free camping all weekend (another yay for the organisers!) so folk have been arriving Friday to leave Sunday morning. So, when the raffle tickets went on sale - £2 each maximum £10 and the proceeds going to the organisers - it's a bargain!

Now, when he's back, ask teethcv how many raffle tickets he got and how at 5 maximum

He had about 30

That was VapingBad, like a Tardis of useful things was his tent . . . thank goodness, what a moment that was! Steve (VapeStorm) to the rescue with his wire bending skills.

Well you all seemed to be having a great time, despite the wet weather.
Thanks for the pics by everyone who put them on here, perhaps someone can put names to faces on pics?

Just to say, I am soooo pleased that all had such a grand time at Vapefest. Thank you to all photographers and posters. I feel like I have been there with you and I have had a smashing time following the thread. I would love to go to the next one but we'll see. Once again many thanks..................Sue

[deesigner]

I'm so glad I finally made it this year, was lovely to meet everyone and reconnect with old friends.

A maoohsive thank you to Pep for the loan of the tent, to Aaron for helping to put it up and Vaping Bad for the loan of the air mattress. If not for the noisy bloody lot next to us yakking away really loudly until 5 am I would have had a great nights sleep

I was so tired last night when I put the photo's up that I didn't have the energy to post so if anyone wants to tag the photos please feel free to do so

[Perpetua]

I've done some deesigner . . . though I've got to nip off now and collect my doggy - and I'm still in my nightie.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time, hopefully I can get to next years if my legs are still working.
I have a bottle of sloe malt whisky slowly maturing should be perfect for next year ( will be its 5 th year) takes a while but its yum yum.
