I resent your implication that Pebble is not up to the guard dog bit ... she doesn't ignore intruders she merely freezes them out with a cunning pyschological mind game -'I'll ignore you and we'll see who cracks first' !!!

I'm sure that Maggie and I will be happy to badge up, but the quality of information that we will be able to give will no doubt steadily deteriorate with the consumption of certain beverages.

Linda, I'm not sure that Pebble is really up to the job. Are you sure you don't want to borrow Flossie? She would be capable of inflicting some serious ignoring on any intruder!

The campsite should be open from early afternoon. I'll try to get someone to post you a map but, if you can find Beverley Minster - a bloody big church, the Leisure Centre(where the campsite is) is clearly signposted from there.

How are you travelling? By car, you can park at the Leisure Centre anyway even if the campsite isn't ready. By train it is a short walk from the station and you can see the minster as soon as you get out of the train.

The Leisure Centre people have borrowed the Lions caravan and will have one person on most(perhaps all) of the time. However, John the LC manager did say that he would welcome any help.

Anyone who would like to help out (and get a badge!)in any way with giving directions, patrolling, or just being a friendly face at the venues please meet at the LC at 7pm Friday 21st

The programmes are now out in the locations that I posted earlier - so get them whilst they're hot.

Just to let you know that Stirrings (South Yorkshire mag) has printed a news piece about the festival being on but despite me e-mailing them with the basic details and saying that'we'are not the BERFF the article reads as though the BERFF have had a change of heart and put the thing on. I'm not amused and will talk to the editor. I also think we should have someone in mind to do reviews of the event for the folk press e.g. Stirrings, Tykes News , F Roots etc on the basis that if they can get the details wrong from an e-mail what shite will they write about the event.

Now that the Jubilee and Endland's part in the world Cup are virtually over, we have just three weeks in which to publicise the festival.

We had an article in the Beverley Guardian this week and hope to hit them again and also the Beverley Advertiser in the coming week. I'm going on Radio Humberside on Wednesday and have sent the festival details to both Teletext Festivals Listing and The Guardian Guide.

Very few pubs or shops in Beverley are displaying our posters in their windows yet - please use your influence to get them to do so. Extra festival posters and posters for the ceilidh are available from me.

Any other ideas and volunters to carry them out?

The programmes haven't gone to the printers yet so my original plan of having them out three weeks ahead of event has slipped a little. Les sent me some proofs which I corrected and they are now being amended by him - the masters will then go to the printer in the next few days I hope. I'm getting 2000 printed which will allow a good number to be paced in the venues and the TIC this week and the rest to hand out on the weekend.

Perhaps we could also identify an evening singaround pub as the Sun gets a bit busy and in previous years we've been put in the no smoking cupboard!

Just a thought, with requests flying around for 'flyers'.
For the 'Heath Ceilidh' in Cardif, one of the organisers tends to email people with details of the next event, and includes a simplified A4 poster as an attachment.This allows people to run off a small number of advance copies.
Could this be considered for future events, at least to allow advertising while waiting for the 'Real Thing' to be printed/distributed ?

The programme design is progressing nicely. It'll probably be 8 pages of A4, including the 'underground' style pub map suggested by MC Fat (thanks mate!).

I still need details of dance teams and spots, plus we need to set a copy deadline by checking with printers about production times and prices.

Also there may be other events to add (Poems and Pints and a Fiddle Club have been suggested).

Bearing in mind the number of venues we've got, it might be an idea to put up a blackboard or somthing (in the Leisure Centre?) so that anyone fixing up their own session can give it some publicity.

I'll make sure that there is a draft programme layout for the next meeting, and I hope that I'll be there myself.

Whilst the programme does look good, it can't tell the whole story because things are changing constantly. For example, we have listed the peformers for the shanty event near the Beverley Beck but the Beverley Barge Preservation Society are organising lots of boats, craft stalls and craft workshops around the Beck area and I have only the sketchiest idea of the details of that.

We have a new workshop added to the Friary - Sunday at 11am with Ann Lonsdale who is offering one on Song - to cover harmony, rounds etc.

We do still, however, need a ceilidh band(Saturday 22nd approx 9pm start) since Pigjig can no longer come. Any offers? I know that we will have the raw material for several scratch bands at the festival but it would be better to be able to book a named band and caller.

I went into the Beverley Tourist Information Centre with some posters yesterday (Thursday). They are going to do a window display about two weeks ahead of the festival so if anyone can drop off folky stuff to use in the display, around the beginning of June that would be helpful.

Do check out the dolphinharps site and the cottingham-live site as they both now contain potted biographies of all the booked acts(not enough time or space to include all the well known, but unpaid, performers that will be there)and you can see what a range of musical styles we have on offer.

Amanda is preparing a programme for the dance teams - so far we have five teams coming and they will be dancing in town, outside some pubs and down at the Beck(not in it!).

Don't forget the next PVFF committee meeting next Thursday 23rd at 7pm in County Hall. I'll have posters there for anyone who wants to collect some.

Hi Les

Yes, I hope you are doing the programme - I've just been slotting stuff into the proforma that you sent me because I didn't want to bother you with endless amendments. However, in the next few days we'll have to go with what we've got at that stage - even if it isn't complete.I'll send you back the amended file and you can work your magic on that.

The map idea sounds good - talk to you at Nellies on Sunday

Hi Roger, I thought that I was doing the programme, but I'm glad if you've got it organised! Jim and I were talking about having a map of the pubs and clubs, and there's often a problem over map copyright, so Jim suggested a diagrammatic map like the London Underground. If you can give me a list of the pubs/clubs involved, I'll be glad to have a look at it for you.

Did we get any further on stalls? A friend of a friend was interested and I said that she could ring the Manager at Beverley Leisure Centre.

We got a lot of interest in PVFF at Moor and Coast Festival last weekend.

See you on Sunday!

Sorry about the last mailing appearing as guest - I was at work and didn't have a cookie set up. Anyway it was me inviting people to join the Westwood club so that they can attend events there as part of PVFF.

Our latest venue for folk festival events is the Westwood Club in Beverley. This is a private club and people have to be members to go in there. However, membership is free and can be obtained within 24hrs.

What we need is a list of names(addresses not necessary) of anyone who thinks that they might be coming to the PVFF so that the list can be displayed in the club - the people on the list become members 24hrs later. Please send your names (and that of any one that you know is coming) to me at [e-mail] and I'll compile the list.

We will have to catch the campers and other people as they arrive at the festival. The club is only being used on the Sunday so anyone signing up by Saturday 22nd will be eligible. All 10,000 flyers have now been distributed and the posters are due in the next few days. The programme will go to the printers in about 1 week.

Carole

we are not sure of how many venues we'll have for workshops yet. Certainly some of the quieter pubs will be OK during the day but we are hoping to get some space in the Friary. At the moment only the harp workshop has a home so I'll have to get back to you about where the bodhran can fit in.

cheers

Hi Roger

I have had a word with Mary and if you want, she agrees to running a Bodhran workshop during the festival. It would have to be for complete beginners as she hasn't run one before but I thought it would be an addition to the events. If you think it would go down well let me know and we'll discuss when we could run it.

Of the 10,000 flyers that we printed there are now about 800 left so get you orders in now if you want any.

The A4 posters will be ready in about a week (500 of them) and we hope to have the programme printed up about 3 to 4 weeks before the event.
