Quite right Guest Banjiman, top festival indeed!

Everyone seemed to be having a great time and I am always amazed how much this festival attracts people from all over the place.
Once the rain stopped early saturday afternoom (thank goodness) folk seemed to be drawn to the town like a magnet and the whole place was buzzing and heaving with every street/venue/pub/hotel/eatery full to the rafters all day(and all night)long!

It felt like the whole world had turned out to enjoy the sun, the spectacle and fun and just come out to have a good time in Holmfirth.

This has to be good news for all ardent folk followers, the brilliant organisers and volunteers, local business and commerce and residents and visitors alike.

Just very nice to see so many happy faces turning out in their masses to make the most of this special event and spending freely at a time of national austerity. So it can't be all that bad can it?

Majic. Can't wait for the next festival in 2012!

Very well done to all the organising committee, stewards and volunteers. Job well done.

Many thanks

Chris
