By this time last year there were over 200 posts on the BFW thread and heated debates were taking place

This year there are 8 (OK 9 with this one)

Does this mean that the controversy has gone away, everything is fine and we're in for a good Broadstairs or does it mean that people don't care any more and won't be bothering with it?

Myself, I won't be there and I know a couple of others who have called time on it.

Andy and I are looking forward to being there Pete. We should be getting the caravan back today in working order today - main dealer repair - ouch. I think weve learned all the tunes we need to - but I expect youll surprise us.

Most festivals have their own unique feel. Were off to Ely soon and its very different in that there is very litle involvement from the town. I've always felt that as long as there is not too much under your nose collecting, the Broadstairs residents welcome the festival as part of the summer season.

See you all on a school field soon

Flora.

The Old Trout Band will be there again - celebrating 21 years of playing for the Hobby Horse Club/Celidhs/singarounds and anything else thrown at us. We love this festival and despite some of the gripes that materialise every year its still streets ahead of other festivals for its friendliness and range of activities and the way in which the whole town is involved. Hope to see lots of old (and new) friends there
Pete

Well, it's nearly that time again.


I know there are some mudcatters with gripes about Broadstairs, but there are also those that love it. This'll be my first Folk Week in 6 years that I haven't worked so I am really looking forward to it.

Who's going to be here?
