Can't see any info for prospective stewards on the website... but I'm pretty sure you'll need some! :)

I think it'll probably be cheaper to buy a new tent, travel light and eat from stalls onfest than take Volvo and van over on the ferry.

Unless my mate who smuggles cigarettes into Spain has a spare large boat I can borrow.

Richard, check with us first to see the discount we have arranged for the ferry. Last year a car and up to four could travel at any time of day for only £50-00 return.
This year will be similar and we are negotiating for the ticket to cover a whole week on the Island!
Beware of agencies quoting hugely inflated prices.

Goodness - the best price I could arrange last year (unless I missed a trick somewhere) was well over double that!

The IOW crossing is the most expensive stretch of water in the world. We are at the mercy of a duopoly. BUT FolkStation have arranged special rates, look at all the others then come back to us.

Will you be programming in a MudGather?

I think that is very likely. As long as there are Catters around, it seems to follow.

Hello again.
Here's a link to video of last years festival .

Did you see yourself, no, nor did we, but a lot of us, including quite a few mudcatters, were having a grand time in singarounds and sessions, despite the noisy neighbours, ;-)
A small but well balanced weekend, why not give it a go?

We will be there, just waiting for the discount ticket window to open.

We might have our party increased by one Greyhound, if he hasn't been re-homed by then!

Wassail!! Chris

Dave... I'll pass a reminder on to those that know, but I am not involved with stewards this year, so I know nothin'.

Just getting packed & sorted & will be there by tea-time today if I can get these lads moving. Weather looks good apart from Friday morning. Safe journeys all!!

All sorted and ready for fun. Lots of lovely peeps arriving. Weather at the moment ideal for ducks and errant goldfish! No dust or pollen and I promise it won't be raining in the beer tent!
The sooner you get here the sooner the fun will start. But don't forget, park in the big car park as access across the tracks is not possible until after 5p.m.
