hiya all - not been over to the fest for years but plan to get over fon sat or a gander - understand that you have the fairfield funky folk dancing this year - they are a bunch of youths with learning disabilities set up by Carol from Slubing Billy's be good if you could give them a cheer f you are in town when they are dancing.

Pity the trip to Heck' is off - never danced there or even had a pint but it was the town that "invented" christmas lights and would benifit from a visit from traditional performers as it is on a bit of a slide culturally methinks !

hope is goes well

PS if any of you cleck folk fest ctee peope are reading my day job is dealing with funding with kirklees and i can confirm the grant from the area committee was agreed - just need to get paperwork sorted tommorow but you got the brass !
