Seems like a good idea to me. If I was going away this year I'd be interested. I can certainly reccomend the Tout a blocs festival. Bouldering comps, lucky dip prize draws (won a rucksack and a bouldering mat), lots of food (pay 24 euros or summat and you get a few hot meals, plus t-shirts, posters, caps, krabs and the bouldering guide), lots of people, parties, great rock, great setting...
