T-shirts!
Special limited edition Stainsby Festival 2011 T-shirt are still available. Get them while you can, because when
they're gone, they're gone. Now only ten quid plus P&P.
Bankers!
Enough of the rhyming slang jokes, already! The bankers have thrown a spanner in our works (where haven't they!)
by closing the cheque guarantee card scheme which menas we won't be able to take cheques on the gate. What to do?
Well, we're setting up a system so that you can pay via PayPal with your debit or credit card at the gate. This is a
great leap into the field of technology (see what we did there?) and it depends on our laptop connections. This
should work reliably (note italics!) but if you can buy in advance off
the booking page that'd be a great help and bring peace of mind for all of us. Of course you can always pay by more
traditional methods (and avoid the booking fee) though we should make it clear that, if you intend to barter, we
don't accept goats and the chicken/pound exchange rate is very poor at the moment. Gold bars on the other hand will
get you a good deal.
Stewards
All steward vacancies are now filled.
More Great Names for the Line Up
Great News! The fantastic Dizraeli and his band The Small Gods will finish the festival on Sunday. For anybody who's not yet seen his amazing set, this is a must. Catch him here whilst we can still afford him!
...and there's more. Loscoe State Opera are confirmed
to do a rousing set on Saturday night. Bring it on!
Meanwhile for those who like a bit of late night cabaret we've got a special session - Late with
The Lost Padres (or is that the Late Lost Padres?). Those
of you who've seen them know what to expect, those who haven't have a treat to come.
This year's festival has been and gone!
Tickets were on sale at the same price as last year. Despite VAT going up to 20% and inflation at 5% (and
rising) there was NO INCREASE. Zip Zilch Zero!
Camping
Camping is available for weekend ticket holders on Friday and Saturday nights.
Please remember that you MUST be off site by 8pm on Sunday night.
The festival this year will run longer into each evening on Friday and Saturday (hooray!), with more late night events (hooray again!) but will finish earlier on Sunday at 6pm. There'll be the same great acts and music there's always been - but compressed into a slightly shorter time. It also means that public camping will close at 8pm on the Sunday.
Important Changes to Child Tickets
Children under 12 are still free accompanied by a paying adult. Children from 12 to 17 are on a new youth ticket
at 15 quid per session or at a new introductory rate of only 20 quid for the full weekend. This new weekend rate is
to ease the blow for families who used to get older children in for free in previous years. At least 16 and 17
year olds will be pleased that they don't have to pay the full rate any longer (although the downside of course is
that they won't get served in the bar). To compensate we plan to cater better for this age group in future.
