what is wadfest?

[archerinwood]

I am a beginner and I would like to know what Wadfest is.

[Squigglyx]

see here.

In summary,

an annual meet of discworld fans at a campsite in sunny (or rainy) Nottinghamshire. We play games, have fun, have a couple of drinks, have talent contests, bash penguins, a couple more drinks, spend money (charity auction), have fun, meet great people, have fun and maybe a couple more drinks.

Its just a fun weekend with lots of similarily minded people.

and a much cheaper option than, say any of the formal conventions. We have talent shows and murder mysteries. It is for all ages from babes in arms to oldies.
Check out photos on the various threads and also it has its own website www.wadfest.co.uk with its own forum.

We've been twice and still ask the same question.
I think the answer is..........fun.

[PeggyOgg]

Ah, Wadfest well.........."Abandon hope all those who enter here!"

Don't forget your wellies!

[archerinwood]

does it cost anything to go there and are discworld stamps sold and traded there?

[rentawitch]

yes there is a charge to attend. There might be stamps. It depends on Uncle Bernard. the details are on wadfest.co.uk

[archerinwood]

thanks for the help

[Squigglyx]

even if there are no stamps on sale, you will find lots of flatalists there and those with dry secure tents may even have some of their collection with them.

Actually "What is Wadfest?" is probably the most meta-physical and difficult to answer question I've seen posted on here!

As opposed to what? What is Waddy?

[archerinwood]

I could not ascertain the date and location of the Wadfest. So when and where is it?

[demdike]

19th - 21st August 2011

Trentfield Farm, Church Laneham, Retford, Nottinghamshire, DN22 0NJ

It has a facebook page for more details

[Dragonlady]

It's also in the link that Squigglyx posted just after your first question

And for me? The answer is: Hard work!

[archerinwood]

Unfortunately I won't be coming. I am 14 so I can't drive and my parents aren't even taking me to spring event:(. Wadfest is further away so sadly no. This year is shaping out to be a no event year .
