I have not been able to post as there had not been any update. However I have now been able to contact Steve from the festival, he has mow given the correct information to the lady who is taking the bookings. I have a meeting set for later this month, re the fringe and all camping on the field, this should resolve all the outstanding issues. It is now more than probable that I should be able to re turf the area where the contractors have stockpiled the soil. However this will only give 5 or 6 weeks to get it to take and we may only be able to put tent on this area. I will keep you updated as things move on.( Mrs Duck you can now phone and book. )

Tried to book again today but the lady at the booking office insisted that they were not taking fringe bookings, she said she would need to speak to whoever was organising the fringe.

The Buck Inn, Beckside   and Beck View Guest House Blucher Lane are both handy and might have vacancies.

I rang and was told same story, I get the impression they are not very interested in the fringe, certainly hope I'm wrong its a good festival

There is no reason to doubt that the fringe will have its spaces on the site.
I will close of a part of the field for the fringe if necessary and take the bookings through the leisure centre.
However I want to play it straight with the new organisersand give them a chance to play it straight with us. I have a meeting with them shortly And will bring it up.
Just to put all minds at rest I have had a meeting with the director of leisure and he made it clear that there was to be no change with the fringe, also John the leisure centre manager is willing to take the bookings for the fringe but only if necessary and only after the next meeting, so that he is aware, that every chance has been give to the new organisers. Cheers Oombanjo

Why can't someone organise a Peoples Voices weekend please - surely you would get plenty of support.
Yes, I totally agree with the comments about 'for profit' etc. and there's no way I would pay for 2 (the second person doesn't use a ticket at all, only to camp with me!) The Peoples Voices kept Beverley going and I always wondered why it didn't just carry on as it was.

By the way I think that Nellies have a b---- cheek to say that they would have music for the weekend only - something like til hell freezes over comes into mind - also I'm still waiting for a reply from Hump to a letter I sent about 5 weeks ago - reckon I'll be waiting a long time but surely the only way we have to show our disgust with them is to boycott their pubs?

Still no luck with booking camping tickets. Same story each time "only for season ticket holders"!

I have also just rang them (Box Office: 01629 827018 Admin: 01629 827019)and they said no "season ticket" no "camping", very autocratic
Is there another number I should be ringing, help please?

I hope that I am not premature on this. and I have to make it clear that some of the spaces for the fringe are booked for those that will be hosting the sessions in the pubs, so I have put aside 8 places, I won't go into the discussion that I had with the festival organisors, but it has been agreed that I should take the bookings for the fringe. The charge has not been set But will ba about the same as last year. I will talk to the Liesure cntr Thursday. Any one wishing to book in drop me a line @ [e-mail]    There are 12 spaces left, and don't beat me up if you miss them, and don't book if you are not sure that you are coming, Mrs duck yours is booked thanks for your help. Cheers to all Oombanjo.
