I am pleased to announce that the Reef-Fest 2014 will be held at
The Aquarium at Cockfields Farm



Mark has agreed to host it and has already set the wheels in motion.

The date has been set for the weekend of 17th & 18th May. It is going to be a full weekend of events. (Camping overnight for those that want some evening frolics, details TBC v soon)

There are going to be trade stands, a Marquis, a couple of characters like Peppa pig. Obviously the petting farm will be there, A BBQ, Mark is even thinking about having a place to pitch tents on so people can camp overnight.

I can confirm Mark has lined up 2 speakers for the event:

There is still a lot of planning to be done by Mark & myself but as & when I get more details I will update this thread but for now just so you know Reef-Fest 2014 is going ahead and we are going to make it bigger and better than 2013.

Regards Dave Big Thumbs Up

This sounds good, My missus owes me a day out from making me go to Blackpool and watching ballroom dancing last month :w00t:
I was going to take her to Manchester airport and watch aeroplanes all day long, but she'll hate this even more. count me in,,

Cant wait.

What is it? Is it a massive meet up or a huge discount event? Can we bring frags with us to swop?

Yes, this meet will be big, it's not just your average meet its something TSB do annually & we had our first last year at end of March.
Very soon there will be more details about the event so watch this space.

Yes there will be some fantastic deals on offer. Trust me, this meet is defo not to be missed. If you've ever been to a reef meet before well this one will certainly surpass that, yes I know that's a bold statement but I'm that confident......












Note to Mark.....Don't let me down lol

A date has now been set for this event so get it down in your diaries. Mark has picked this date as it's just before the bank holiday & interzoo were a lot of the traders will be attendlling & also before the world cup starts.

Pop your name down on the thread if you are coming for the Saturday, Sunday or both so Mark knows the numbers attending & I will update the first post.
