Just got back to this thread.

Glad it all worked out and of course thanks to Malcolm.

Re my inquiry to Jack as to whether he actually spent any money with the festival and Nick accusing me of picking fights.

Jack answered my question in a later posting where he admitted attending very little of the organised festival.

It would be interesting to know whether in fact the Fishermens Rowing Club gave the festival the heave ho or whether the festival had not let them know what they (the festival) had planned.

I did overhear a conversation at the Conservative club where the lady in charge said she would remonstrate with Barry Evans over events being moved at the last minute with no warning - if only she knew who he was!

Does anyone want some really stale buns?
