Ah, I thought this was familiar from a year or so ago. It was sort of marketed as an MTB event / party / rave / whatever. Ignoring the fact that is was going to be held on the flattest place on earth and the prices were a joke, it did remind me of the old Malverns Challenge / Classic days pre stabbing and drinks ban. It sucked when beer tents went AWOL.

Circa 1945, there was a weekend of races held in Eastnor Paaaaark, near Malvern. It was always very warm and sunny so having a huge beer tent was extremely useful. After one or two shandys, future policemen, world class downhillers and MTB journos could be found climbing up to the top of the tent and rolling down it, landing around or on security guards. In the early innocent days there was only minor drug taking and random punchings, but someone did get stabbed in one of the subsequent events.

Bring back events like this I say.

we will have a beer tent with a large bicycle race-sized opening at each end, pit stop in the middle on the bar side.

Maybe.

And a rock band on the other side.

Perhaps.

Who knows. We'll have sod all if you don't send us a cheque. We will however have permission.
