Sinister: Bowlie Bulletin

[Michael Jones]

Hello all,

Apologies if all of the following is replicated on a web-site
somewhere, but I thought those Bowlie-bound listees who didn't
actually sacrifice their first born at the altar of Ticketweb in
February might like to read the bumph said company have just sent to
me regarding the Weekender...

Some of it is a bit alarming...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Camber Sands Festival - April 1999

Thank you for booking your Bowlie Weekender tickets with TicketWeb UK.

The festival runs from Friday April 23rd [doors open at 4pm] until
Sunday April 25th and you may stay on Sunday night if you wish however
you must check out by 10am Monday.

There will be three bands on stage 1 on Friday, five bands on stage 1
and six on stage 2 on Saturday and Sunday.  Entry to these Venues will
be on a first come first serve basis

Below is some important information that you will need to know:

When arriving at the site it is vital that you know the name of the
person who booked your apartment if you are not with them. This is how
we will know which apartment you have been allocated.  Only two keys are
issued per apartment.

If you are collecting your tickets on the gate, please bring the credit
card you made the booking with.  Credit card pick-ups must go to the
Western Car Park[this will be signposted] If it is not your credit card
you must bring a letter of authorisation from the cardholder.  Upon
arrival to site please have all tickets ready to insure speedy entrance
to the site.  Note you will not enter the gates of the site unless you
can show a valid ticket.

Everybody must bring a £25 cash deposit to be handed in on arrival, this
will be refunded on departure providing no damage has been caused to
your apartment. If damage caused exceeds the deposit value, the
outstanding must be paid cash before departing the site.

Upon arrival you will be issued with a wrist band. Please keep it on at
all times as replacements cannot be issued. Anyone without a wristband
will be asked to leave the site.

Please bring two pieces of ID with you [one with an address such as a
bank statement and the other stating your date of birth].  You must have
two pieces of I.D. with you at all times. You will be asked to show this
on arrival, and the bars at Pontins may request this before serving you
alcohol. Alcohol will not be served to under 18's. No under 14's will be
permitted on the site.  If you are aged 14 – 18 you must be accompanied
by an adult at all times.

[can I volunteer ?]

No glass bottles or alcoholic cans are permitted on the site.

[hang about, I thought we could bring our own booze ?]

There will be random drug searches.

Bedding will be provided in the chalets but no towels.

There is a restaurant on site as well as food vendors, but the chalets
are self-catering if you prefer to cook for yourself.

[and if you happen to prefer cooking your casserole with a bottle of
Jacob's Creek - boiling the rice in Hoegaarden, natch - what then ? 
Eh ?  EH ?]

There is a cinema and games room on site, as well as other activities
such as go-karting, abseiling and swimming. Some of these activities
will carry an additional charge.

Directions:
By British Rail:  The nearest rail station to Camber Sands is at Rye
which is approximately four miles from the Centre.

By Car:  If you take the M20 and leave at junction 10 you then pick up
the A2070 to Brenzett from this you take the A259 to Rye and follow the
AA signs to the site which is on the New Lydd Road.

Enjoy your weekend!

Well, make of that what you will - most of it we knew, but the bits we
(well, *I*) didn't are a bit surprising.

Mike (considering filling a Puffa jacket with beer...).
