Hi,
Just butting in to the thread to say - want a Catters Meet then I'll find you a venue!
Just also to let you all know that the current situation with venues is: Civic Hall refurbishment will not be finished in time (only the main hall will be available so the Craft fair and Ceilidh will be going on in there) Arts Centre next door will be OK so Voices will be there as usual and all the day/evening concerts on saturday, plus we will be using the Arts Centre friday evening. We have the very plush Liberal Club for concerts all day saturday "The All Day Folk Cabaret" with all the main guests appearing during the day (also cheap beer and catering facilities) - fridays main concert will be in the Conservative club, and the Ceilidh in the Ex-Servicemans Club (sorry we can't keep complete political impartiality as the Labour Club has closed down!) We are also using the Fire Station Social club friday/saturday and sunday, a nice room that holds about 60 people and beer at £1.40 a pint and just a few paces from the indoor camping! Childrens events will be in the Methodist Church Hall (opposite the White Swan)- Needless to say the White Swan will remain a hive of activity over the week-end with song and music sessions plus the upstairs clubroom. All venues are within 100 yards or so of the Civic Hall. We are starting to build up the info on the web site but as you can imagine it's been very difficult sorting out venues at this late stage.
Also in reply to "Are there any tickets left" - the use of the new venues has given us the ability to greatly increase capacity and far better concert facilities so we can up our ticket numbers, otherwise we'd be getting close to capacity now.
Sorry to go on - I must be getting excited!!
Malc.
