Apple Day was on 17 October.

I too was at the Bob Copper commemoration which was also brilliant musically though the surroundings were as dreary as ever before. This took place well before the appointment of Katy Spicer who has achieved much in a short time. Additionally, the accession of Ms Carthy to the post of Vice President as well as the revamp of English Dance & Song and the arrival of some "progressives" on the EC have resulted in (comparatively) massive shake-ups.
