Good sugggestions.

My 2-cents worth:

I don't know how the timing will affect others but 5pm Mudcat time probably translates as around 7am here. Is there any chance of making it a couple of hours later?

Also, I really think we should take Jon's excellent suggestion and set up another room in the HearMe. It probably doesn't have to be labelled "Women's HearMe".

In line with most folk festivals I've been to it would probably work to label it Music Workshop HearMe and then other specific interest sessions - singing, music, sea chanteys, specific instruments, etc could "book" the "room" for use at specified times. For example, a harp, autoharp, dulcimer workshop would be fantastic for me.
