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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Did you manage to contact Chrissy Cullen?... she sounded quite certain her band would be available... she said way back before the first official festival she'd busked to raise funds to help it start up so it would be quite fitting for her to be involved now.

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.

Hi u all. Judith Rotcliff and a two other small pipers have now confirmed that they would like to do a session to promote the small pipes. They can do this on the Saturday, and suggested it as a workshop for players and interested people, The venue would probebly be the Friary for about one and a half hours/ there is also the possibility of the Minster's hall if required. Asuggestion has come in for a ceiligh band (Ron Angel-The Sun Inn Stockton) does anyone know him or have contact.
