Nicely put Soldiew boy. I've offered to help as best i can tho i like yourself live a wee bit of a distance from Uppermill and don't drive but most of us have t'internet and mobiles so even if only leafletting etc, could do summat. Ray Padgett on another thread has voiced similar suggestions re helping organise. Methinks p'raps Ray or others as experience could run a workshop on how a festival is organised then folks like me might not be put off cos we've never done it afore. Just a thought. Here's to 2012 !
