Don't want to dampen anyones enthusiasm but has anyone thought to ask the landloed of the Board if you are welcome. Regatta is clashing with folk week again and space could be at a premium.
Also worth mentoning that you are will be seen as representatives of Whitby Folk Week even though this is a fringe event and heaven forbid anything untoward will be attributed to folk week not Mudcat. By all means enjoy the day butremember folk week needs to function with the locals year on year.
