2004 Koom Valley

When the tag line "I survived Koom Valley" was added to the 2004 event little did we realise how apt it would be. Boy did it rain on the Friday and the Saturday morning.

But not to be discouraged, the fans carried on and enjoyed themselves. This did teach us another lesson though, allow for inclement weather. I did think that I had allowed for it, but it turned out not to be enough.

Due to the inclement weather in 2004, it was decided to change camp venues again for a site that supplied better wet weather amenities, plus more flexibility towards visitors, as an extra we were also able to book the site in the school holidays.

A visit from a VIP

At last Wadfest is recognised as an official event, although Terry allowed me to call it an official unofficial event, so I suppose one way or another it has got official; status. Yes we had a visit from the man himself, Terry Pratchett, although visit is the wrong word, as he spent the majority of the weekend with us, even taking part in some of the games.

The new site seemed to go down very well, with plenty of positive feed back, both from the fans and the owners.

Now that Wadfest is getting bigger, committee meetings have to take on a more organised structure, I am hoping this will not cause Wadfest to loose its spontaneity.

It was interesting to see how Wadfest has changed since the first Event in 2002, for the better I hasten to add.
