We 'did' the fringe this year and there seemed to be plenty of sessions for John to play in. He found a couple of cracking ones in the evenings at the Elsinore and the Board kept him busy in the afternoon. The Friendship Club also had full singarounds each evening with about 100 people in each.

I think the people were there - just opting to stay in venues (official and unofficial) especially in the evenings when the weather was rough.

Thanks Nick for arranging the soggy sing on the boat and the trip to Glaisdale. How much was the total figure for the Runswick Rescue Boat this festival?
