Subject: RE: Aylesford 'Day of Dance'
Well folks - it's arrived, happened and then it was over (boohoo!!).
The Aylesford Village Festival 2007 was a smash!!! A very big thank you to all who turned up to run/take part in the two "official" sinaground sessions in the Chequers. Didn't get to the afternoon one, as I was rushing around like a maniac making sure that the six morris sides were all ok!! The evening sessions on Frisday and Saturday were really good - some great songs and tunes plus some great harmonising.
All that was planned for the event, happened. Bishop Gundulfs Morris set a new world record for the number of long swords that can be put into a lock - 23!! (well done Big Dick and the rest of the side). My mate Rob proved that he is crazy by fire juggling and spitting (fire that is) throughout the weekend. Flora's ceilidh went well.
Much drinking and merriment over two long days!!
A big thank you to any of you who cam along to participate or just to support our hard efforts.
The event wil run again, next year on the same weekend - so put it in your diary NOW, so that you can't tell me that you are double booked when I bump into at the festivals this year. If you want to see what we arranged for the day, you can look at www.aylesfordvillagefestival.co.uk No doubt, there will be photos on the Gundulfs web site too in the near future - www.bishopgundulfs.co.uk.
So, having just unpacked the car and typed this - I'm going to bed for some rest!!!!
Many, many thanks to you all.
