Wasing at all costs?

[Chopper]

this is precisely my point alboot....its the people and music that make Glade for me....not the venue!

It could be in a fiel anywhere for all the attention I pay to the scenery....and how often did you go about Glade saying....wow look at the trees?

I would much rather sacrifice venue than sound quality!

haha i spent a full day (saturday) doing just that, rtotally out my face, missing hundreeds of good music and listening to shite psytrance

AW can't do that again doubt if they'll recover... if it's alternatives you're after then there's lot's of smaller festivals BUT obviously a huge hole for events other than psy or commercial, maybe someone will start summat next year!

sound issues, yeah maybe but you do realise this is still the best run event out of the lot, even with the odd niggle over security (no smoke without fire?) which are usually isolated incidents

weather doesn't come into it, for a few it may stop play but they'd still have turned up, & it can't be as bad next year

personally i think it's the wrong / bangface / techno crowd spoiling it for me. it wasn't like that in 05. not that i have anything against these musics either!! it's the whole slagging match that is shocking as i always thought it was this scene (ie: glade) Vs commercial, garage & r&b - you know, our scene is about dancing & good vibes apposed to turning up at some place full of wannabe gangsters with shooters . so yeah, leave it out, some of us don't really distinguish between the musics at glade except for some being for raving & some being for chilling, yes? and not all of us like one music & only one music, why can't we (i?) go about our business without this crap. if i stray from the overkill (or breaks, or id.spral....) & go to check out summat else i am suddenly second class citizen, wtf?

so yes i'd still go to wasing, but they need to sort the sound out.

thats deffo my glade attitude, raving or chilling
tis all good

I've asked Nick privately whether the Glade will stay at Wasing in light of the licensing stitch-up and the increasingly draconian policing and he says: "Truth is we are still looking at it and assessing the feedback from the locality."

Well, having made a few more inquiries, all I can say on this front is that nothing is set in stone. This tale about some four-year deal was always bollocks, the organisers had always made it clear privately that they wanted Wasing to become the permanent venue for The Glade.

But obviously some of the developments of this year may make it a somewhat less attractive option than it was. There will no doubt be a serious rethink on everything, just as there was around this time last year leading to the scrapping of the main dance tent and the addition of the new tents.

Too right I will. In fact, I almost stayed behind, ready for next year.

I hope it is in wasing, its only a 5 min drive from my house which was a bonus last year! As much as its against the festival spirit its nice to walk home have a shower

Old thread alert!

As everyone presumably knows by now, the application process is under way for a five-year licence for the Glade to be held at Wasing Estate. Just in case anyone gets confused by this thread.
