12 Jun 13 - 05:21 AM (#3525509) Subject: RE: Roger's Rant 2013 28-30 June UK From: Herga Kitty I should have mentioned in my OP that events, apart from the barn dance (tickets £5)are free - camping, including access to showers and indoor toilets, costs £10 per person for the weekend, and there is a survivors' folk club on Sunday evening for people who want to stay over. The profits from the barn dance, donations, food and bar sales and raffles go to the designated charities. Kitty |

Other performers for the showcase concert will be programmed as available - and there will be opportunities for anyone who wants to perform to do so in the folk club and evening song sessions. Al - I remember you could only make it to the survivors' session last year, so if you're able to come on Friday and/or Saturday, we'll be pleased to see you! Kitty |
