Sorry to do this to you all, and bring you back to one or two of the objectives of the thread but,as Sir Roger wrote, we have spoken to, and received support from most of the pubs to support the Fringe, and advertise in the main programme next year. It was also agreed that the Fringe places on the fields were secured for next year. I like the idea of an 'Organised Mudcat' gathering (upstairs at Nellies maybe or in its courtyard if the sun is shining) and/or maybe have a different theme for the Fringe each year(SUGGESTIONS WELCOME).
