Petefest 2 Celebrating being ALIVE

Donation protected
Three years ago, my wife Claire & I threw a party to end all parties for my 40 (and a half) birthday. It was an epic occasion with a huge marquee, DJ, bouncy castles, catering, jugglers, musicians, camping and fireworks!!!

Since then I've had numerous requests, from Hilary O'Neil, to throw another party!

This July, the day after The Big Big Variety Show 4, we're going to have another party. The reason? We are ALIVE. With so many deaths in 2016, lets not wait until one of us dies to get together. A celebration of LIFE is in order. The party will start at 2pm on Saturday 22nd July 2017 until late!

Burgers and hotdogs will be served at 4pm and a late night snack during the Fireworks. There will be a large selection of drinks however, bringing a bottle or 2 is highly encouraged. Neil Lockwood, of ELO2 fame is bringing his band. Callum Hooker is supplying sound, lights and bouncy castles and DJing along with guest DJ's Sparky and Mark Argent. Paddy is supplying fireworks again and promises it will be 'totesamazeballs' (!) From 11pm there will be a silent disco so don't plan to leave early!

We have a HUGE bell-tent, cooks and bar staff, portaloos and everything else to create a magical festival vibe. It's a family friendly party, so bring the children (sorry...no animals) and if you don't want to drive, bring a tent/camper van and stay on site. 

Whilst every care is taken, and favours called in to keep the costs down, there are indeed costs involved. 
Claire & I were very happy to cover all the costs involved in my birthday party, because it was my birthday party, however, Petefest 2 can only happen if we get a little help covering the costs.

There's about 200 coming to the party. If every one was to chuck in a tenner we'd cover costs. If you're in a position to donate more please feel free to do so. 
If there is ANY money left over after all costs are met, they will go towards the money raised by THE BIG BIG VARIETY SHOW 4 and to MS Research.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your donation.

Now lets have a great PARTY! We are ALIVE.
