Well - that's that then. Time to start on the 2009 Festival!!!

Thanks for the kind words, but I was only responsibe for the Morris sides, arranging the singaround, getting the campsite together and the web site!!! The rest was a team effort - Simon Temple (Chair), Neil Longhorn (Marketing and Blagging), Mark Polzeck (Finance), Keith Stockman (Concert) and Gareth Sharpe (Logistics).

Mr Barden, Mr Thompson and Mr Kenward - THANK YOU for running the singaround session brilliantly on the day. Hope the three of you can do the same next year!! Thanks to all of the singers and players who performed on the Saturday and on the Friday evening.

Thanks to all of the Morris Dancers who looked GREAT and managed to keep to the timetable - THANKS - Your are all certainly invited to next year's!

Thanks to Pete and Gina at The Cheqeurs who put up with us all!!

Thanks to Keith for sorting out the concert at such sort notice.

The pubs in the village were great. The Scouts did a fantastic job, both directing traffic and poducing some fine burgers!! The Fun Fair worked well.

Thanks to all who helped with the camp site, especialy taking down on the Sunday morning.

At this early stage, we, the committee, think that we made somewhere in the order of £2,500 which will be split and distributed between the scouts, the primary school and various groups within the village.

IMPORTANT!!!!    IMPORTANT!!!!   IMPORTANT!!!!    IMPORTANT!!!!
Skinny Richard - I have your hat which was left at The Chequers. I'll return it to Richard Bridge for you.

I also have an Ultra Guitar Stand that has black gaffa tape on the support feet. This too was left at The Chequers on Saturday night. Any idea who it belongs to. I'll be at The Good Intent Beer Festival this weekend if you want to collect it.

It goes without saying, that I would like to see you all at next year's Festival. The date will be the same - the last weekend in June.

The website will be the same - www.aylesfordvillagefestival.co.uk, so have a look from time to time to see how things are going.

If I have left anyone out from the thank you list, sorry.

Great weekend, Great Company, Great Dancing, Great Singing and Playing.

It will only keep happening if YOU FOLKS keep supporting it - so THANKS and we'll meet there again next year!!!!

Cheers
