BlokeFest is far
Wow, what an amazing weekend!
It's fair to say that the event surpassed wildest expectations of the organizers with
the sheer quality and quantity of the singing, drinking, merry making
and general all round great blokeyness - so many awesome Magical Man
Moments in one weekend
- The warm up sessions before the singing
- The quite amazingly brilliant Caberet
- The team representing Ashton Keynes taking on "The Rest of the World" to become the very first Indoor Tug o' War championsThe hog roast in the pouring rain
- The "train" in the Daneway tunnel . . .
It's also fair to say that the feedback has been phenomenal and knowing the BlokeFest Inner Circle as we do they have asked us to thank all who have expressed their individual gratitude.
Everyone has now been scattered across the country but plans are afoot to share some of the digital souvenirs from the weekend once real life gets out of the way! A starter for now can be found at
http://soundcloud.com/blokefest/sets/blokefest-2012-daneway-tunnel/ with
much more to come.
Hurrah!

BlokeFest is near
It is now only four more sleeps until the biggest gathering of singing, facial hair and dodgy T-Shirts since, well, since time immemorial quite frankly. Suffice to say the Blokes of The Magnificent AK47 will be girding their loins as well as packing their camping kit. And a fearsome itinerary awaits them.
In brief, the weekend looks like this:
Friday – gather at The Tunnel Inn, coach trip to visit to Stroud Brewery, food, drink and singing then back to the camp overnight
Saturday – series of workshops for all things Bloke, singing, tug of war, hog roasting and other such activities
Sunday – more singing, some walking and a bit more eating, drinking and singing
It may surprise you to know that much more can be found on a website, aptly named
BlokeFest.net.
Let's just hope the weather holds off and all the facilities work!
