"More jelly lol xx " | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
apart from the more showers/toilets (you can never have too many) I think everything was very well thought out and perfect....oh I agree with the late night food idea too

"Hi all.... this is a brilliant thread, we will be having a bit of down time before beginning the task of improvements for next year, so this is great, we already have discussed water bowsers to keep constant water, a glamping area where people can pre hire their own luxurious yurt with private toilets, heating etc, and more entertainment so we are all on a similar wavelength.xxxx" Was a great weekend and have to thank all the organises and people who attended was great to meet people from last year whist at different ends of the country were like old friends hope to see you all next year at swingfields 3. Hatch. | |||

) we shall open later, but will only cater for the majority. | |||
| |||
seriously though we were in a camper so had our own food but would have bought food late on as it saves me nearly blowing us up when we have had too much to drink but get the munchies! hope you are there again next year. | |||

"For those that attended what would you like to see next year? We loved it again this year, so well organised and so much fun but any helpfull suggestions for the organisers to ponder? A couple of ideas from us, an additional coloured wristband, this years were good but maybe one for couples as well as the green single and red Bi ones. Late night food MrsH says more male dancers!!
What woul;d you like "Constant water, a cleaner who knows how to use a toilet brush, a beer tent that doesn't run out of beer on a Saturday night, and maybe more entertainment that involves the paying people, & most definitely hook ups, lots of them, parties go on way beyond midnight, and a music, lights & possibly heat are a must,,,, xx | |||
"More toilets and showers would be great, as well as constant water" And maybe a few more jaeger bombs???? Haha, x | |||

"Redwinelovers your Waffles and ice cream were superb.. did not try anything else as you refused to make me a hot dog for the Mrs at 2AM
seriously though we were in a camper so had our own food but would have bought food late on as it saves me nearly blowing us up when we have had too much to drink but get the munchies! hope you are there again next year."We second that about the waffles and ice cream, we had them Saturday and Sunday | |||
" And maybe a few more jaeger bombs???? Haha, x" Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  | |||
"We must have got lucky as we never heard any generators from our tent, but to be honest if we'd had one keeping us awake and I thought they were taking the piss I'd have gone out and nobbled it." Rather than nobble the generator, surely it would be wiser to have knocked on & asked if you could join the party, after all that's what swingfields was all about, | |||
| |||
| |||
"Better electricity. And less bloody generators at all hours of the night" More electricity from less generators? If you can fix that you could cure the Worlds's energy shortage! | |||

"Electric hook ups are in need of MAINS ELECTRIC and this was in the middle of a field........" Simples We nick a large SSE generator wagon ( the sort they use to power an average street when working on the mains drive / park it at the end of the field and then loads of extension leads from their ! On a serious note we had a great time but a lot of people needed power for fridges etc hence the generator granted they are noisy but people round by us had silent running / suitcase type which were not obtrusive Roll on next year & well done to all the team & organisers ! | |||

" We specifically asked that generators were switched off at midnight, if somebody is too selfish to stick to that they will be asked to leave. xxx | |||
"Having a number of electric hook ups instead of generators would resolve the generator issue completely." this I have said several times, hear hear!!!!!  | |||

" maybe so, but equally does a party in your tent with no light, no music & no heat become a vuisance,,,, HOOK UPS ARE NEEDED..........  | |||

"One option is not to pitch tent near generator " We had set our tent up a good 1/2 hour before the tent with the generator turned up. It wouldn't have been an issue if we all didn't have to put up with the thing going on till 2am only to be switched off then back on again a new minutes after. Personally we both only wanted electricity to dry and straighten hair, I don't really see the need for anything else. | |||

" I`m guessing the tent with "the generator" is aimed at us, if so, feel free to name us as opposed to calling us a tent with "the generator" we unlike most `it seems` like to, & can party on through the night, I have suggested 2 separate camps, 1 for those who like to put their pj`s on at midnight & another, maybe on the opposite side of the main area, for those who like to party on, after all we are all different, and all should be catered for if this is to be a successful & ever growing event, I would like to thank the organisers for their time & effort however, it is a great event, just hope something can be sorted for the all nighters, | |||

"Ps separate camps for party animals sounds like a good idea!" thank you very much guys, that was our thoughts exactly, we figured swing clubs go on till at least 4am sometimes later, so playing all night was great, we also drank, danced & partied most of every night, and sunday evening, or should I say Monday morning we were still at the fire at 4am which I kept going with at least 6 trips to the the wood pile lol) with our new found hot friends & one member of security, who was aa great guy,,, enjoying getting through our stock of JD, Jaegermeister, vodka & Sambuca, we thought it rude to take it home, so we shared, lol, then up at 8am to pack up & say farewell, as you say a party animal section would at least let all in that section know that all are up or should I say awake & "up" haha, & we could all party together, xx | |||
"Ps separate camps for party animals sounds like a good idea!" ps loved you on the Mr & Mrs, funny Mr`s face was, haha x | |||

I didn't have a problem with people using generators I also don't care that people wanted to party past 4am (I know I was on Saturday night). However the site rules were that generators were to be switched off at midnight, there was no rules about music being on past that time. Is it really that much of a problem turning off your generator? Apart from generators I thought the whole weekend was a success. | |||

"I think the lap dancing lessons and later show was a great addition this year. The only gutted person with the late show was the girlfriend as she was onstage being teamed by the two dancers and couldn't see with the blindfold. Lol Also the security were a great bunch especially mr whippy. " Yes.. And I did enjoy the lap dancing lessons! | |||
| |||
| |||
"Lol at the Mr Whippy title, he's also know as Sparticus & Ragnar - the list keeps on growing " | |||

"Lol at the Mr Whippy title, he's also know as Sparticus & Ragnar - the list keeps on growing "I thought Indiana jones sounded good | |||
"Thought the shows by the dancers were class! so glad we took our pole as the girl that did the 2 shows on Sunday evening was amazing, so gracefull and elegent. Pole dancing lessons for beginners might be a good daytime event next year! " We should be the ones thanking you guys for taking the pole. On the Sunday night in the dance tent the girl on the pole was amazing.
Bring on the lessons for 2015 | |||

"Electric hook ups are in need of MAINS ELECTRIC and this was in the middle of a field........ As are most camping sites, in fields," Campsites (commercial ones) often have hook ups, yes. Festival sites don't necessarily fall into the same category. For example, Glastonbury doesn't have hook ups to my knowledge (certainly I've not seen any there when I've been, even when we took a caravan) I've not been able to see any such facility available at Reading or Download either. However, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!
Is a weekend without electricity really such a hardship that it would spoil the fun of the festival..? | |||

Is a weekend without electricity really such a hardship that it would spoil the fun of the festival..?"What's the big debate on electric? Yes I prefer electric, & that is why I own a generator, the issue is not the electricity it is so the early birds can get some sleep, though the other option is to have an early bird camp & a party animal camp, as far from one another as possible, causing no hardship to anyone, keeping everyone happy, is that so hard to organise? Surely the aim of a successful event is to keep all happy & have those & more returning the following year, | |||

Suggest should be a separate area for generator users at the furthest end of the site. | |||

Is a weekend without electricity really such a hardship that it would spoil the fun of the festival..?"As a regular @ Download etc and always opt for VIP camping I can honestly say that electric hook ups have never been available, they do however have a glamp tent away from the campers where girls (and some men lol) can plug in straightners and dryers and deffo NO generators allowed TBH I wasn't bothered by generator noise at all, kinda got used to it, the only noise was being woken around 6am every morning with various neighbours having sex!!! but that was a bit of a turn on lol | |||
| |||
"To be fair the a few only noticed the generators once switched off as you kinda got used to them. I bought along two phone backup chargers that done the trick for us and some Bluetooth speakers but I wouldn't play my music too loud as most would be bored of pink Floyd lol. All we wanted electricity for was for hair drier and straighteners. I do like the idea of a party animal part" Next year pitch up next to me and blast the Floyd out all night lol | |||

"And maps for the nearest shops and supermarket, as I finished up in a Tesco's in Wales this year." There's a petrol station with spar type shop 2 mins up the road | |||

"Still got my 2 wristbands on.. And yes before anyone asks I have a shower since the festival. Just for some reason do not want to cut them off, become a point of principal with the Mrs now. She says Bio degradable wrist bands next year!!!! " | |||
"more instructions and training for tony on how to put up a tent!!!" that would be amasing as I had to teach him and his one job was to do the pegs....he forgot he was holding said pegs!!!! Lol | |||
still got the red one though! Roll on 2015 | |||
"Well the wrist band is finally off! So better quality ones next year please still got the red one though! Roll on 2015"Steel ones for you next year.... oh that's the fetish arena !!! lol | |||
