Lacking support
Nothing could be farther from the truth.This years festival was very well supported and after the facts are collated may have been the best ever in terms of numbers.Where more support is needed is on the committee,with long term commitment in years rather than short term help and then a hands on approach sleeves rolled up for 5 days Thurs. to Mon. to keep things on track.As with all things festivals are time consuming and sometimes people who have run things for perhaps ten years plus, their lives change family sometimes has to come first. So what is needed is some new blood, people with ideas to keep the festival fresh and alive in fact similar to the fist 13 years.So perhaps you are just about to retire you fancy some joy some tears something really worthwhile contact the chairman and see if you can make the difference.When the festival is over you really feel that you have done your bit.
