i have only ever been once and that was when i was 17 im now 35, and i have some great memories of it, i haventr been back since as like many things in life money dictates. if you go for the whole weekend then you wouldnt get much change out of £500 and i definatly cant justify spending that amount of money on a weekend away, as for the main question has it lost itrs sparkle, i think not as if i had the money then i would attend every year JMO
