Hello everyone

So many of you supported our music festival this year, and helped to make the event a huge success, so I wanted to write on behalf of the festival and club committees and say an enormous thank you for your support. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we really appreciate the wonderful support we’ve had from both performers and audiences alike, so thank you again – we hope you’ll come back next year!

We’ll be needing a recovery period before we start planning for next year, but if you have any useful feedback or good ideas which would be useful to us when planning the next festival, please do let us know – our aim is to keep improving things year on year.

Finally, many of you took photos during the course of the weekend, and if don’t mind sharing them with us, we’d love to have copies for our website. You can email them to me, or copy them onto a disk and send to the address below.

I think that’s about it for now, but we hope to see you all again very soon.

Warmest wishes

Nicki
