24 Apr 13 - 03:47 PM (#3508334) Subject: RE: 1st Calverley (West Yorks) Folk Day From: Betsy Hi Muppet, Best of Luck with your event. May I make this small comment - I think it would be an idea to allocate one of the venues to be concentrating on just Musician Sessions. It just saves musicians carting their gear from one venue to another looking for a sesh and where perhaps only one or two musicians are in each venue - waiting or looking for each other. A Focal point if you like. Then they also know which venue to park near. What d'ya think ?. It was just an idea. Success Betsy |

26 Apr 13 - 04:47 AM (#3509028) Subject: RE: 1st Calverley (West Yorks) Folk Day From: GUEST,muppett Bleedin miles apart, nay lad wot you on about, the New Inn is one venue we're using, t'other one is the Thornhill Arms which is 2 to 3 mins walk max. along the Rd. Then the Cricket club is another venue being used is in the park which is opposite the New Inn and the Conservative club is at the t'other side of the park and again 2 to 3 mins walk from the New inn. I suppose if you are an Olympic middle distance standard runner then you can cover a fair distance in 2 to 3 minutes, but for us mere mortals 2 to 3 minutes walk doesn't cover many yards !!!!!!!!! Calverley doesn't just consist of the Main Rd that connects Shipley and Leeds, when you next go through, get out of your car and see. Cheers Muppett :D) |
