I bore the brunt of much of this at ground level!

The pubs are basically not worth pursuing, certainly before 9pm when the food has been consumed

There are problems, certainly ~ I have suggested that the Helmsley Art Centre should be the focal point for singarounds and concert spots, there are areas ideal for this!

It is a great venue, and without a proper "festival" cannot afford to pay for great guests

The pubs are fringe and need organising by others who like to do their own thing!!

But be aware camping and late night transport are an issue which need to be addressed

I certainly hope to be involved next year, good luck to Jean and her efforts
