Anyone know more details or can refute this? |

19 Oct 07 - 07:23 AM (#2174359) Subject: RE: Lancaster maritime festival 2008 From: GUEST,The black belt caterpillar wrestler I have mixed opinions about whether it was a good idea to move to Glasson dock. I know that there was no option at the time, but although some new attendees were there because of the change of venue there were also some missing for the same reason. I could only get there for part of one day whereas if it was still in Lancaster I could have been around for more. It's very difficult to decide what effect the move had, even if you have the exact attendance figures. Robin Madge |
