There is a mad mad line up for this festival - and with rumours of further fringe events there will be few places you can go and not be part of the festival.

Had very productive mtg with the business assoc peeps last night and everything is now in place, above board and legal ! doesnt mean you cant go below decks tho !!

After all the planning over the last few weeks i guess i will do little else than fight to get to the bar in the nook to relax in the evening - after strutting about with morris types during the daytime.

I do hope you all have your drinking heads on and give good custom in particular to the nook, picturedrome and the bridge as they have attended every mtg and done lots of running around in between, they have raised loads of money from breweries and all tapped everyone they could have. Lets hope the picturedrome gigs take off as there is a good line up of big acts and peter has given us free use of his gaff for other daytime events too.

Let no one say that people are doing this for the wrong reasons - i have seen genuine commitment from all the gang and they have been all worked against the tide to pull this off.

If we can just kill the rumours we will have a great sucess.

If there is any truth behind the "move to shelley" story we might need more willing hands to plan for next year. But lets worry about that later and enjoy the moment.
