EFVI not allowed at Vapefest 2014

[TomVa-ping]

If EFVI cant be there, are the at the gate going to disallow guide dogs in?

As a statement from me its baffling that they wont let a major support team to attened the very show they are putting of

just baffling

DID live aid supporting Africa spoil the event?

As a 18yr lad one summers day back in 85 I went down with the lads to see the bands, did I go for the Aid, I did not, now is that wrong

So vapefest then is just a piss up is it ? I can do that here.

Its a bit more than that. To be fair, it is a great time to get together with the people youve become friends with online and a fun day out with those people. Like a day long piss take

Im just looking forward to see if i have to make the first move or if Mawsley does it...

To be honest i find this whole thread quite offputting now anyway. From where i'm looking there seems to be a type of old high school taking ownership of something which really is anyone's, anyone who wants it, not belonging to any particular small group.
Before all this arose i was of the mind that i was going to make the effort to attend & see what i could learn but after reading some of the posts here, i think i'll stay at home. Like i said, i could have a piss up here. As it goes i don't drink any more so i might struggle with you lot.

At last someone with some light to put on the reasoning for no pitch for the above.
Thank you VaperCaper.

I still stand by my earlier post though. A fest of any sort, without a pitch for an info tent. With all relevant info in one place, did seem strange. But now someone, has pointed out that no-one has that type of pitch, I understand why even EFVI didn't get one either.
As for all the vendor bashing, from ALL sides. Someone has already pointed out , that the queues are big enough, without the vendors spending time explaining anything, about anything, to anyone. That's why most events have a special info. stall/tent. The vendors, as I see it, are there for one reason only. To sell me their wares, just like the beer tent and burger van.

Regardless of your views, of those involved, (I don't know them). Or your view of how the event is being managed. Once you have voiced your personal opinion, like I already have. You should leave it at that.

I for one, am disappointed with the organizers decision. But that is their decision to make, and will not stop me from attending.

And as a side note for those that say they won't visit a vendor because they aren't visibly supporting EFVI. Regardless of what media they are on. Actually do the exact opposite, with on-line vendors, markets stalls, fleabay, etc,etc.
Go on hands up who's guilty. I know I am, and I'm not afraid to admit it. If a vendor has what I want, at a price I can afford, sold, regardless.

Once again this is MY opinion, and not that of potv or other members.

..or a day long piss UP...getting together with you guys is a major incentive for me I'm sure that I'm not alone in finding the events of the last 24 hours inexplicable and it has brought out the worst in parts of the online community and has been divisive for others to say the least. I hope there will be a satisfactory solution found. It must be confusing to new members too after the initial buzz of the announcement of the date and venue.

Lets see what happens behind the scenes...

This thread ought to be axed. It started out as a concern, legitimate & measured but has taken a few too many meanders.

I had more to say but why stoke the fire.
