Big Bear Fest Chosen as a Charity at World Record Attempt – Reading Festival

At this year’s Reading Festival, Alistair Kealty is attempting to break the world record for the most T shirts worn simultaneously.  The record is currently 245 held by Croatia’s Krunoslav Budiselic.
Alistair is looking for sponsors at £100 per T shirt. however, 10 of the T shirts have been given to Charities and they will share in the money Alistair makes in his attempt.
Alistair has accepted the Big Bear Fest as one of those Charities and will be putting on our T shirt with the BBF logo and details in front of potentially 80,000 people, films, media and even possibly The Guinness Book of World Record.
The event will take place at Reading Festival in the Silent Arena Tent at the Orange Campsite on Thursday 25th August 2011. The Big Bear Fest T shirt will be the 67th in Alistair’s attempt!
So all of you Big Bear Festie goers who are making the trip to Reading make sure you give Alistair huge support.

Exciting new items added to the Big Bear Fest Shop

July has been a busy time for us here at the Big Bear Fest. We recently added a commemorative box to go with the wristbands as a great keepsake or gift to give to friends and loved ones:

This is priced at £4.00 so wont break the bank and will be a life long reminder of the first ever Big Bear Fest.

Closely followed was the launch of the Big Bear Fest Car/Van bumper sticker.  Again competitively priced and a great way for you to show your support of our music festival:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, today we are pleased to announce some great new colours to our T shirt range along with a selection of children’s T shirts.

For the men we have added black, khaki and dark green to the range.  For the women we have added black, fuchsia, red and green.

The introduction of a children’s range includes sky blue, white, black, yellow, red, dark and light green. Sizes range from 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8 and 9 to 11.

Chris & Chloe Woods have arranged:

The first annual poker tournament in  conjunction with The Sam Bearman Trust. Come along and show us your poker faces!

1st – 50% of total pot + Trophy.
2nd – 30%
3rd – 15%
4th – 5%

KO: First hand 8pm
If we get 40 players this means that first place would be £100. (This figure does not include re-buys so the likeliness is it would be much higher).

Get involved, lets see who is King of Poker for the first ever BB Poker tournament. You do not have to be a skilled player to join in, it will be good fun and everyone is welcome.
