Whitenoise Festval 21st to 23rd August 2020 - gauging interest

[Teresa]

Hi everyone

After a year's break, the Whitenoise Fesitval is back next year. Whilst it is a predominately VW meet, one of the organisers previously had an A2 and we would be very welcome as a Club.

I've not been before, but know lots of people who have and I've been told that it is fab. It is very family and dog friendly and has lots of great music as well as great cars.

It does have camping which would be new for us (apparently they have great showers and loos) but there is a Premier Inn literally just outside the location and a Travelodge 5 minutes drive away (neither have rooms on sale for August next year yet).

Tickets last year were £49.50 per adult and £14 per child for all 3 days including camping, with days tickets at £10 per adult and £4 per child (I'd expect them to be a bit more next year, but it is normally very reasonable).

If people were interested and fancied making a weekend of it, I'd be happy to arrange a walking tour/open top bus tour of Norwich on a couple of the mornings before the day's events started.

There is a video on their website that has a video from last year https://www.vwwhitenoise.com/

Thank you. I've put a poll up which I think works. I was trying to do one of the things that Mike does where people can put name and potentially how many, but I don't know how to do that ?

oops missed that voted now

 

[A2 Louis]

I’d be definitely interested in joining you all

By that time hopefully I would of passed my driving test

I’d prefer to go in the hotel at night but I wouldn’t mind camping ?

 

[FinallyFiona]

Sounds great If it was just me I'd be camping but Lynette would prefer a hotel. We'd be looking to go at least two of the three days so I've put Weekend, Hotel.

 

[Dave M]

Good suggestion T and we would be up for it. ?

 

[Vonnie]

Looks a good show T. Not sure the dates will work for us though

Would be fab to see you all, but I do understand that it is a fair old trek for you. Tickets don't go on sale until October so we have a while to go ?

Sounds interesting, but we can provisionally put our names down, as it is a loooong way to go (no camping gear , so the hotel ? is an option for us).

Hi yes of course. It's just seeing if people would be interested really. The tickets don't go on sale until October. There are several hotels all within a 15 minute drive, so plenty of options for non campers ?

 

[Teresa]

Hi folks, just to let you know that you can book the hotels 1 year in advance, which means you should be able to book this week. All these are within about 10 mins drive in order of distance from the event (The first Premier inn is pretty much on site)

Tickets for the event, plus camping will be on sale in October ?

I will plan some visits for the saturday and sunday mornings if people were up for it, or local and fancied a convoy, but not the full on festival. I thought Sunday morning could be a convoy into Norwich to a little known but big car park right in the old part, followed by a little walking tour along the riverwalk. We would then convoy out down our most picturesque street

Ive just had a look at the booking calendar for The Premier Inn T and the last booking date is the 21st August. I will check again towards the end of next week and book. ? ?

 

[AJB]

This could work for us. We have a tent. Would just be down to whether my Month End fall on that Friday or not.
