Following the meeting last night, we have now taken delivery of 10,000 flyers (designed by Les from Hull). Anyone who feels that they could distribute some around clubs, festivals etc should pick them up from Hodgson's pub in Beverley(if you are local) or I will mail them if you send me your address and an indication of how many you want.

We are now working in co-operation with the Barge Preservation Society to incorporate a shanty event around the Beverley Beck and the East riding Council have given us some money towards printing advertising etc.

The next meeting will be at County Hall in Beverley on Thursday 25th April at 7pm when the cheque will be presented officially so that we can get a photo and story in the local paper.

See the website for regular updates as acts are booked into the venues - so far we have Banoffi on Saturday night and Dog House Skiffle Group on Sunday together with workshops from Sam Pirt(accordion), John Harrison(fiddle) and Gifford Rolfe(songwriting)and a folkclub run by Cottingham Live on Saturday afternoon. However, this is just the beginning and another 11 pubs have yet to fix up who is playing at their venue and when.
