Hi to you all,

Thanks for all those lovely comments.

As the person responsible I hope to do it as follows next year and I would be grateful for any comments:

I intend to run three "continuing" sessions as follows:

Singing in the Elephant, English session in the Postcard and all else Celtic/foreign in the Nook. The intention is to avoid clashes - build up the English - keep the celtic/foreign going and give the Hologram and his lovely mate chance to perform until they drop. There will be no reason whilst the format for each venue should be set in stone - the intention is to just to give a solid foundation to each session.

And I noticed the teatime session in Hervey's!!

I reckon I can get volunteers for the English. Ken and Jim can run the singing and the Nook virtually runs itself anyway.

Ballad sessions and musical workshops in the Adult Ed.

Morris workshops/Tai Chi etc in the Parish Hall at the campsite.

I have already asked Rolling Stock to return.

I intend to improve the website and start a regular e-mailing newsletter.

I am decisively NOT asking for suggestions - not that I do not wish to take notice of people far from it - just that I know from past experience that I would be overwhelmed.

I will ask for advice and just because it has not been taken any notice of does not mean it was not valued.

I hope this helps people and glad you seemed to enjoy yourself!!
