Also heard good things about Jerome Hill from my friends.
Great weekend overall - top lineup and atmosphere. The sound systems were superb as was the general production and organisation.
Only slightly negative point was the over the top level of searching. Understand that Pontins have to be on top of this but I was searched more times in that weekend than I have been in over ten years of raving... still it didn't spoil a top weekend.

Some grumbles:
- You were supposed to be able to book in at 12. They didn't open till 3.
- The queue to register took over an hour even though there was only 7 people in front of us. Why did we have to write everyone's details down again when this had already been done on the website?
- The Pontins chalets were colder than it was outside......
- Too many people playing boom boom boom music in their chalets..... loud as hell. You weren't even listening to it, you were probably just talking shite.
- If the timing is off with the artists, it would be good to keep the crowd informed in some way. It was annoying to come into a room to find someone playing you didn't expect and half the people I ask not actually know what was going on!
In terms of music though, the soundsystems were excellent and the lineup was fantastic. Well done for that. Definitely worth the money. I would pay another few quid though to pay for professional event management and a shower that was actually a shower.
All in all, thanks. I had a great time but I'm happy to be home again.
