Just wanted to thank all of the organisers of this superb festival. I had a fantastic time.   Sure there were some glitches, but if 95% of an event involving over 600 events, hundreds of artists, stewards and staff in dozens of venues, goes well, I think that's a miraculous achievement.

Not sure about the comments concerning the dates and the website - they were definitely there, that's where I got them from to book my leave from work. The festival office location of West Cliff School was also shown on the website, as well as on the huge AA signs scattered around town which guided me to the office during the week itself.   During the year, my queries concerning the festival were answered when addressed to the Bradford addresses / email / phone shown on the website.   All of the programme changes that affected me were in the Wailer which was easily available, and I knew which artists were planned for which days from the link that Mrs Duck posted earlier.

Car parking was easy to sort out - typing 'Whitby Car Parking' into Google gave a map of the car parks and method of buying advance parking tickets.   In exactly the same way as I'd found out about travel to anywhere else I planned to visit.

The fact that the festival's organised by volunteers who remained friendly and cheerful despite whatever was thrown at them, makes this event doubly phenomenal. I've so very pleased that so many people care about this music so much that they want to give up their spare time to make Whitby happen.   Thanks a bundle, all of you, you all deserve huge medals adn my life would be much sadder without you.   Congratulations

Joy
