Thanks so much for reading this and we look forward to seeing you there!

The date is the 12-14th March 2010. The venue is Malonjeni Guest Farm.
We know how tough it is to come up with money after December and hopefully this will give you a little time to recover. We have managed to keep our ticket price the same as last year which is R200.
This time we have thought to make it a little holiday for you with the music that keeps us together. The new venue is Malonjeni Guest Farm. This is about a half hour drive from Alberton, so yes we are going back home to the South where Motherfudd started.

Malonjeni - "The Place of the Gathering" true to its name. It has two lovely Camping facilities one set against a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and rocky outcrops, the second would be the main camp near the stage & food stalls. There are toilets, baths, showers (hot water). Malonjeni has two swimming pools. There is an open scullery to wash dishes if you need it. Malonjeni will run its own bar for you and their prices are great!
Malonjeni also has a game farm, we have arranged for the Game Drive to stay open for you this will be R25 and the 270 hectare guest farm is home to game such as Black Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest, Springbuck, Blesbuck, Zebra and Africa's largest antelope - the Eland. We stress that for your safety & for the animals you treat the animals with respect. The game are separate from our function & the music will not affect them. We do keep to the "noise pollution" legalities.
Malonjeni is very happy to have us on board, they are aware that we are different to all of the commercial festivals. I was proud to talk about The Fudders as you guys have so much fun but are not destructive as I have seen at other festivals. So while I am rambling on let me sneak in a big THANK YOU for your respect to the venues that we have used & to each other. Enough soppiness! There will be other activities at the festival, plus a variety of food stalls. There is one HUGE thing which will be happening and this can only be revealed to you closer to the time, (we have our reasons why we can't tell you now), I am finding it hard to bite my tongue
I will do follow up news to the Fudders, this one is just to advise you on the venue & the date. Maps etc will follow. Ticket Sales will open in January 2010

Once again thanks to all that submitted and waited patiently. This was hard as all of you are fantastic but only 20 can play for 2010.
This will be your time to relax and even though you are not on the bill you will make some wonderful contacts as the VIP's are not split at Motherfudd, we are all the same & help each other where we can.
See you in 2010!
