The festival website states "This is a tentative program and is subject to change without notice" yet it doesn't seem to include even that tentative programme - or have I missed it?
(Though some folks believe the term tentative only refers to the campsite facility! - LOL)

I am suprised to find this at the bottom. It's a great festival and is definitely worth a visit. If I wasn't occupied elsewhere I would definitely be there.

You're so right Observer, it's a lovely Festival & I wouldn't miss it for the world. Luckily we appear to have 2 threads on this festival, which just shows how appreciated it is!

My first experience - with Wrigley Head Morris Men. Shame Graham isn't dancing with us any more - fantastic voice

Great to hear the unprogrammed combinations like Muppitz singing with George Papavgeris outside the Greig Centre, and Lynne and Pat singing with Keith and Sylvia on the campsite.

And yes, NICE BEER!

Also the Argarmeles Clogs asked me to say how much they enjoyed the weekend. So that was Muppitz singing with George was it. I wondered who it was. NICE VOICE.

I'll third that - sounded great, noticed how the casual visitors to the bar moved their chairs closer ....
& On a general note, heartfelt thanks to Dave, Marge & the Entire Crew for a pretty damn fine weekend.

... umm ... was there beer on sale ?

And a Fourth from me too - Wonderful sound muppitz & George were making!

Am popping the Attendance list on the MudGather thread later this evening, but adding my Thanks here to Marge & Dave & the Alcester Crew for a Fab weekend! And we were'nt flooded out - mind you, I heard another 6 inches would have done it *behave chaps*
