Can I suggest if you are short of stewards that you have a chat to the local Lions Club as well. It may be short notice for them - but there were some at Southwell and a good job they do too. Also they have the added advantage of telling their mates that we don't take drugs apart from alcohol and we are well behaved and don't drop litter and things like that.

In thirty years plus of going to folk festivals I have never seen any trouble at all. Shame that some idiots can spoil our reputation.
