For those of our number who don't have access to Facebook, I just wanted to let you know that this year's Gid-fest will be slightly later than usual so as not to coincide with the Olympics, (they didn't even phone to ask if it clashed - can you believe that?), or the Green Man Festival.
It will be on Saturday the 25th of August 2012 from 1200 and will be held at The Victoria Pub in Bayswater as usual, (pending booking confirmation).
More details will be posted as we get closer to the date but I wanted to make sure those who are interested in attending knew the date and venue as soon as possible. I hope you'll be able to join us in what will be our 5th annual outing, (wow!).
I bet that's the weekend of our 24hr car race at Snetterton.....
Quite probably. I've already been reminded that it's the Bank Holiday weekend but if we don't hold it that weekend it'll be September before we hold the damn thing and that will simply through everything out of sync.
I'm assuming you're doing this because Gid is competing in one of the cycling events.
Will the mayor of Bayswater be in attendance? If so. I know a song that may be to his liking and I'll be more than happy to post the lyrics so we can treat him to a hearty rendition.
Isn't London planned to be a ghost town by then with everyone having moved to Salford? lol tolhurst
Right then, having reviewed all the "great" suggestions raised by attemdees, I can exclusively reveal that this year's theme for the CD Lucky Dip is....
My Favourite Album Not Recorded by an Artist/Group from North America (including Canada!) or the UK and Ireland.
I'm hoping this doesn't lead to a catalogue of Nick Cave albums being swapped. Hope this works for you lot. Only three months to go now so it's full steam ahead as the planning goes into 1st or possibly even 2nd gear!
P.S. Anyone heard from Roofdog recently? He seems to be incommunicado.
CAN YOU HEAR ME ROOFDOG?
ARE YOU THERE SON?
[Starts to fret that one of the Ultras may have disappeared!]

Can roofdog post on this forum?
Or does he have to use a proxy and a shed service centre?
Boo.
I will be there, never fret.

Roof doggy dog! The date has changed to 1st September!
Well, sorry to hear you were the only one there yesterday, although you DID clear up all the prizes.
Can you come again on Saturday? Would be good to see you again (though I doubt Lee can guarantee a repeat of the clean sweep)
I didn't mind being by myself, but it was hard work achieving that £200 minimum bar spend, I won't lie to you. I should be able to return on Saturday for what I'm now calling 'Gid-Fest 6', only problem is I've got to get another pass from management.

Aaaargh, I'll be at a wedding....... (having survived 24hr race and sundry torrential downpours*).
*downspour?
Yes, I see there's been some confusion. Confusion caused by my not posting on here that the date changed some time ago!
So, to state for the record; Gid-Fest 5 (or 6 for Roofdog) will take place THIS SATURDAY, at THE VICTORIA PUBLIC HOUSE in BAYSWATER, THAT LONDON.
I hope to see you there.
Has anyone seen my keys?
