I really object to paying for full season ticket and some don't give discounts for OAPs etc and I'm not into stewarding. By the way we did have a singaroud in the Scount Hut on the Saturday evening at WHF met some nice people and swopped some songs, unfortunately it wasn't programmed Mr Fidgit.
To get back to the fringe question, there are quite a few 'free types', where you probably pay £10 to camp, I'hve organised a couple of small ones myself, call them Song Weekends or whatever, when we made profit on raffles that paid for some advertising and the rest went to the local hospice. My other problem is that my husband isn't enjoying folk music these days and before now we've had to buy 2 season tickets to get on the camping field!!!

Why can't festival oganisers offer a camping and session only ticket PLEASE???? Surely they would get some income from me or like some I can think of we just don't go to any more.
