Hi All,
Just poped in to say we have an excellent new pub venue for this year - The Black Bank(on the Coventry Road). New landlord and landlady Geoff & Pat are no strangers to the folkscene having previously run the Royal Oak in Earlsdon, where they hosted many nights of frivolity with the likes of Earlsdon Morrismen. This year they will be hosting a number of sessions over the week-end, including the mudcat meet (Saturday afternoon - time still not quite decided!), and will be running a late bar which should prove particularly attractive to those staying in the indoor camping as it's just around the corner. We are hoping that the new venue will prove to be a general meeting place, and are having an early informal music and song session in the venue for the early arrivals on friday (5pm - 7pm) and just to set you up right for the week-end it's happy hour 4pm - 6pm! Geoff is very keeen on keeping an excellent cellar and sells a mean pint of Abbots and will be doing a wide selection of excellent food, including all-day breakfasts throughout the week-end. The pub is situated just out of the town, on the way to the Rugby Club camping area, just a few minutes from the indoor camping venues, and only a couple of hundred yards from the Conservative Club home of the main song concert stage.
On the ticket front, caravan/campervan site is almost full, but still room in the indoor camping - remember you can book on line at the website www.bedworth-festival.info - any queries please post here as I drop in regularly or contact me direct on malcg@bedworth-festival.info
Thanks for your time.

Malc.
