I was only there for opening Friday night, and Saturday. Pressure of work took me away on Sunday. The atmosphere seemed good, and the busses were very good - everyone I know has said so. The Geheime Stadts Polizei looked very butch but I heard of no criticism of them so I infer that some of the more draconian sounding stuff about how to camp was bluff.

Cars seemed to be allowed readily onto the distant field - but some pillocks put their tents in the "roadways" which made getting a caravan out mildly entertaining.

I found not a lot in the way of accompanied song sessions - I gather that the Neptune and the Wrotham were swinging from the chandeliers so that if you were not in, you were not in , and if you were in you were not getting out.

Circumstances stopped me getting to the opening night school session so I cannot comment on it.

I would have liked to go to the "Knit yourself a PA" tutorial.
