Thread Name: WHITBY Folk Week - the small print
Subject: WHITBY Folk Week - the small print
I was asked in the Station at Whitby, "Did you get to Martyn Wyndham Read's concert Of Graeme Miles songs?"   
Sadly I hadn't, I would love to have done but I didn't know about it.
Why Not?
Because I guess it was hidden away in the small print of the Whitby Programme.
After all the superb work they put into laying it on, Whitby Folk Week organisers hide away in the small print not the Terms and Conditions, but the Programme of events we've come to see!
In 2008 I downloaded the programme and printed the bits I needed in readable type, ideal, but I couldn't find that for 2009, just a page saying 'buy a programme, four quid.' Yes we may be tight on the folk scene but it grieves me paying four quid for something I can't read.
Ageism is illegal now! Lots of Festivals have Young Persons programmes so why not something for the Over Fifties? Why can't we have Large Print events for those who don't have microfiche readers for eyes?
If you couldn't read your Whitby Programme please post 'Me too!'
