Subject: RE: How did you find Whitby folk week
We enjoyed it, but behind the scenes there were a few organisational disconnections. E.g. many changes of programme, some of which weren't reported in the Wailer. We were put into the late night concert on Tuesday at short notice, but immediately before the concert, the MC didn't even know about this change - fortunately we know him and he was able to give us an informed introduction.

We found a workshop had been cancelled but the stewards hadn't been told, so the punters waited an hour for the leader to turn up...

Also none of the booked guests seem to have been sent any kind of working timetable in advance - this would have enabled some of the problems to have been sorted out so the printed programme would have been more accurate.

From the audience's point of view, all this doesn't seem to have mattered too much.
