Just for information, the picnic in Whatman park was a resounding success, with about a dozen of us singing and playing for the whole afternoon.

The park rangers oozed round for a look, but made no comment. Passing their hut later in the day, we popped in to talk to them, and asked if there were any problems. They said none, and told us we were welcome to come any time when there was no scheduled event, as long as we keep it acoustic.

They said they enjoyed the music, and wanted to see the millennium theatre used as much as possible. The acoustics are remarkable, and we were clearly audible up to about 100 yards from the stage.

We're going to do it again fairly soon, and I will post on the Cat when I have details.
