What The Ashes Did Next
So that happy time of year when you can all start planning your encounters with the great outdoors. We are happy to announce this year's Ashes will be happening on the weekend of 24th-26th August at The Plough in Farcet Fen, near Peterborough. As lat year's revellers will tell you the venue is ideal for the event with a permanent marquee for the music, a huge expanse of field for camping and cricket, and again some real toilets, which as promised didn't even run out of water. There will once again a childrens' play area for our ever growing creche, as well as a return of the Childrens' Zone, and for the rest of you a fine selection of real ales and ciders. We are also determined The Gaming Zone for the geekier amongst us will be more organised this year. But then we always say that.
The venue is planning a bar-b-q or pork roast on the Saturday for the non plant eaters among you, which will also be offering the usual veggie burgers. As last year the pub will be open for food over the course of the weekend, and snacks will once again be available in the marquee.
Entertainment will again run through from Friday evening, during which the rather splendid Dr Bongo will be compering, and on throughout Saturday and Sunday.
Anyone willing or eager to help out with door duties, sound duties, or creche duties do please get in touch. Rumours this year include a children's Ukelele workshop, poetry workshops, and various other more inappropriate lessons in childrearing. Revenge for the many custard pies is high on our agenda...
As we hope to order in luxurious showering facilities this year, and in the face of other associated costs spiralling, the ticket cost has been raised to £20, as always, all inclusive for the weekend. Which we still happen to think is a pretty good deal for three nights and days of camping and entertainment. As always the event is free for under 18s.
