There are amps on site, but a few people bought additionals last time and there seemed to be enough. I'd say by all means bring one, as part of the weekend is to have a gander/ try out different gear
The main recording room had a pretty solid backline that wasn't changed though, so amp would be jam rooms only mainly.
As for power, if it can keep up with a drum kit then sure should be fine. I bought a mini pedal board last time, but tbh, i don't think i actually used it except for the tuner... was all over the place so was basically plug & play where ever
I always take enough to be self sufficient - guitar - GUITAR STAND!!! - pedal board - cables, etc. I plug my AX8 into the PA though. That way I can join a jam or practice alone as needed. Also important to bring food/drinks - its a bit of a walk to the supermarket otherwise, and time during the day is best spend playing.
Make sure you have a good guitar stand (or keep it in its case) - people are careful, but lazily propped up guitars against walls are always a risk.

I always take plenty of water to any event just in case, so that won't be a problem. I'll load the whole shooting match up (although still a cut-down "in the front" board, not the full frigging monster otherwise people will get pissed off with the setup time, i suspect).
Also, looking at my available time for this week, I'm probably just going to bring my full pedalboard, and a patch lead so I can tweak it to all go in the front rather than need to do the full in/loop/footswitch cabling routine. Although for the recording bits I'm expecting to just go straight into an amp, as nothing I'm involved with needs anything more than a bit of gain AFAICT.
at Woking, I brought a lot of guitars - but that was pre-arranged with people in the casual rooms, and was a lot of fun.
In the main room - AX8 into the PA, sounded good and was easy. Next time it will be my Axe FX III in a rack - so easier to tuck away.
I think it depends on the songs, I could absolutely have plug and played on Teenage Kicks for example, but White Room and Beat It - would want some effects/small pedalboard.
At Woking, I think the whole thing worked very well in that regard - people were sensible, some added pedals etc. but no one took the piss and everyone was time sensitive.
I believe it's really important that we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater, for some of us (definitely me) - the chance to play loud with others is very rare and to be cherished, because of that I wanted a sound I was comfortable with, I (and a few others) put a lot of effort into having a pedalboard which would give that and at the same time was quick to deploy.
I've heard stories of people being more difficult with gear set-up, we should police those - not the great majority who just want a good time and a chance to hear something of their gear

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youFor the kind of serious session stuff that @alnico is talking about I'll be taking the big stuff, though, just so I know I've got everything at my disposal. But that's a totally different proposition - horses for courses etc.
But, will be looking into battery pack power supply so that might solve that issue..
Will probably hassle custompedalboards over it later as he bought a rather pretty battery board
