10th International Gathering of Portafolds & Ansfolds (2018)

Post by Admin » Tue, 17 Oct 2017, 1:59 pm

The 10th International Gathering will be on the 10th-12th of August 2018.

We'll be at Retrofestival Newbury again as it's proving to be an amazingly popular show with something for everyone. The showground at Newbury is at Priors Court, Hermitage, Thatcham, West Berkshire RG18 9QZ; and is huge and we have plenty of room to expand.

It's well established as the Portafold event of the year and is certainly one not to be missed. And new for this year, we'll be in a new area! Very exciting, just as much space but a nicer area and we won't be so spread out.

Also, we will continue with our 'festival of lights' idea which worked really well and really made a show of the stand after dark. So get all your (battery and solar powered) lights and festoon your caravans and awnings.

Remember, don't book up with the organisers, contact me to get your pitch. For 2018 the cost to exhibit your Portafold (and classic car if you have one) will be just £40.00, and that includes up to 2 adults and 2 children. Additional tickets are £45 for an extra adult, £20 for an extra child (aged 11-16) and children under 11 are free.

The 'toilet club' private toilets will be available again at the same price of £8 per person for the whole long weekend, Friday to Monday. (Children under 13 are free for the toilet club)

Don't forget to buy your 2018 Hobgoblin charity t-shirt.

The target this year is to raise enough money for 10 guide dogs.

A massive big-up to my right-hand and left-hand man Neil, without his help over the whole weekend it simply wouldn't happen. And the support from both Cheryl & Sharon obviously, it was a true team effort.

A great weekend all-round, a nice new area, a lovely pond that has now been named 'Portafold Pond' and some rain, but we're English and the weather never beats us, we just BBQ under umbrellas.

Thanks to everyone who came, the dates for next year are the 9th, 10th & 11th August. I'm taking bookings already for next year!
