Well I hope to make it next year, if only for the weekend & look forward to seeing it in all it's new revamped form.

I do agree that I won't miss all that tat hawked in the Arena, hardly genuine 'craft work'& I think the dance & music on the front is truly great & unique.

However I do still stick to my opinion that people are now used to better organisation & whether we like it or not, the administration will have to be better organised & those precious people who volunteer to be stewards will also need to be better organised.

I certainly do think that those people that took the bull by the horns & took on the task of organisation have been fantastic for taking it on & I hope they have the enthusiasm to carry on.

MBSLynne I am the last person who cares about what people think of me & my music personally, having been involved with Morris for over 25 years & very used to all the stares & jibes. However I still would like to see our national music & dance appreciated & not treated as a joke, but with respect as are other genres, & IMHO going backwards is not the way to do it.
