Many thanks dozy rozy for your offer of help and support this is very much appreciated. I know you will bring your usual sparkle and energy to make this festival work and be a real success.

Over the weekend I also received offers of help from Cathy and Ian from the Slubbing Billys morris dance team. I know that they also have a lot to offer and will also be very valuable additions to the team for next years festival.

It's looking good. Please keep the offers of help coming.

quick update for yous all - had another mtg on monday and it looks like we have quite a krew of happy helpers for 2007.

If anyone wants to steward, perform, sponsor etc etc pls let us know via here or mail your detials to Cath using the address on the web site- we will have 2 email groups one for the inner circle of movers and shakers who will sit around and chew the fat once a month or so, apply for money and plan the event. The wider mailing will be an update for all supporters, volunteers and nosey buggers. you can join either on request.

We are going with the second weekend in may for the date, and spaces and venues will all be booked in advance, We have boxes of little cardboard flyers to get out to the festivals this year - if you can take a pile out to festivals and chuck em about for us that would be great. The web site will be same address as it is now, and updated and will give details of developments as they emerge.

A mini gp will be looking at getting funding applications in and there will be a bigger better school programme of lead in events and performances at the festival.

think that was about it for now - we will keep this thread alive for news and views.

be good if it didnt get side tracked into discussions re merits of beastiality, regional dialect or recipes and wider debates re non related issues but this very request is bound to lead to some whackaday response

ho hum !

Our web person has been doing a bit of work on the site www.holmfirthfestivaloffolk.co.uk   

There isn't much in the way of news at the moment but there's a few nice photos so why not take a look - you might even be on one of them?

You can also sign up to get regular updates when we have something to tell you so you could leave us an address to get in touch with you.

We are also doing well at getting out the little flyers telling people of the dates for next year (May 11th- 13th) and the contact details so keep an eye out for them. It would be interesting to know how far abroad we have managed to distribute them - why not let us know where you have seen them?

Cheers
Cath

I noticed at Sidmouth that the old organisers of HFF are promoting a new Festival at Shepley for 2007

I have a leaflet for Shepley Spring Festival for 18th 19th and 20th of May 2007 given to me by Nicky at Warwick FF, which is I believe a 'Greenfield Site' planned for 2007 with Waterson Carthy, Tams and Coope and others

The Holmfirth Festival of Folk will continue at the old date in 2007 in Holmfirth I understand

Hey what a surprise I got today up here in far flung Orkney when I went into a local music cafe in Kirkwall, there sitting on an inside table were a pile of cards advertising the 2007 Holmfirth Festival of Folk. Well you could have knocked me down with a tartan mackeral ...500 miles away from Holmfirth and there under me very nose a reminder of Yorkshire's success in the folk festival business. Up here folk music is a part of the pulse of life.
For those of you soft southerners who don't know, the cafe is The Reel and run by the Wrigley Sisters - got it. Oh and they serve very good coffee and snap.
