"Find my Club" event July 29th moved from Walpole Park to
"Driftwood" Stokes Bay Festival site.
Great news! We have been given permission to use part of the
Driftwood Music Festival site for our "Find my Club" Event.
Following crtitsisms that our events clash with others
around Gosport, we will not now be using Walpole Park,
because we have managed to secure part of the Driftwood
Festival site to host our event, which means even more
traffic through to see your interests. Set
up times remain the same, from 7am - 9am with the event from
10am - 4pm. There is on site parking for cars and we can
even use the main show stage for any performers who wish to
take the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. The
stage will be available from 10am - 12.30 pm. If you wish to
use the stage please let me know so we can arrange timings.
We also helped out at the cash desk, taking monies from the
visitors. |
