I would like to support what Uncle Bulgaria said from a day or so ago.

I don't want to do the school marm bit but it is proving a bit frustrating to get accurate information out through the web site and a bit soul destroying when we hear from people as close as Meltham and Honley that there is no festival this year.

Press releases have gone to all the local press and media, posters are going up and 10000 flyers have gone somewhere! There's even a big banner over the Hospice shop in the middle of Holmfirth

Please do all you can to pass the word as far as possible. Tell them there are still camping places available, the weather is on order, the programme is out on Friday and there's loads of stuff to do that will only cost you your beer money and a contribution in the collection bucket.

If anyone out there would like to help a bit more than just turning up please drop me an email to holmfirthfolk@btinternet.com
