It was great! It had a wonderful carnival atmosphere with Punch & Judy and the Inner State Theatre group who, when we passed by munching on our dish of chips, had gathered a substantial audience around them. There was kipper smoking (they were gorgeous), coracle building, an RSPB stand that had a large 'bird' jigsaw for kids (and the not-so-young kids)and the Shanty Tent (open fronted and not PA'd) was always a great crowd puller. All this against a back-drop of narrow and broad-beamed canal boats, yachts and other vessels of various shapes and sizes in a very pretty harbour.

The pubs were welcoming, the ale was good and the singing from all the artists was of a very high standard.

Well done to all concerned.
