Huge thanks to all the organisers, stewards and camp-site teams from Spare Parts. It was our first Whitby and we had a terrific time. I was particularly charmed by how friendly, thougtful and reasonable everyone was throughout the week.

The ballad sessions were splendid. I managed six hours of sex and death; it would have been more but for the stern demands of band practice.

(If anyone's got any feedback on our concertina sessions, please PM me or Bryan (The Snail) Creer.)

Tootle pip,

Valmai
