Just a quick note to bounce this back to the top. Only just over a hundred days to go! Planning for the Fforde Ffiesta 2008 is now gathering pace. Tickets are on sale, the bus for the Guided Tour of Swindon is booked, and all the various events are starting to take shape.
Around 1/4 of the ticket allocation has been sold already - a lot of them to people travelling from overseas, who understandably have to make plans early. Thanks to everyone who has bought tickets. We love you all. Bear in mind the price goes up from 25.00 per person to 30.00 after 1st March, so order early to avoid disappointment.
The event is taking place at the De Vere Hotel and UnConventional Centre, Shaw Ridge, Swindon, Wiltshire, England on Saturday May 3rd and Sunday May 4th 2008, with an optional kite-flying picnic expedition to the Uffington White Horse planned for Monday May 5th as well (weather permitting - it's a Bank Holiday so please keep those fingers crossed)
However, DON'T try to book rooms at the hotel yourself - they'll only tell you it's sold out, as we have all the 152 rooms there reserved. Details of how to book yourselves rooms at the hotel (and take advantage of the special discount rates that we've arranged) will be provided AFTER you have bought your Ffiesta tickets.
Newsflash: WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR ACTORS! Anyone planning on attending the event who fancies getting involved in a planned production of Shakespeare's Richard III (done TEA style), please get in touch. We're also looking for costumes and props.
Please check in regularly at the Ffiesta Website [www.ffordeffiesta.com] for further information. If you have any questions which aren't answered there, feel free to drop a line to the Fforganisers at:

Thanks and hope to see you soon
