Some good comments coming out here, I can say that the ham staff ans organisers in no way represented a take the money and run mentality! As any of the staff about their briefings?

Tuesday as a bad day, the straw, however, was fresh and was managed each day (reduced to let the ground dry out).

The seating is as it has been for a number of years.

Other alternatives can be considered but time & cost is often involved in the equation.

We did the best we could with what we could get to create a comfortable, enjoyable and safe environment for the concerts, if we failed it needs to be reviewed logically as to where and how and how we cna improve.

Glad you enjoyed the show though, despite everything.
