A successful 22nd Festival
The festival was an outstanding success, and was blessed with fine weather
despite the rains the week before. The only slight hic up was due to the
rains on the Thursday night before the festival the site became rather wet and "squigy"
under foot, and thus we had to insist that no campers' cars were brought onto
site to unload. Rather, they had to wheel barrow their camping gear onto
site using specially acquired wheel barrows, and with the result we prevented
the festival site becoming a mud bath.
Amazingly, the sun shone on both Saturday and Sunday, and with the balance
of music every one had a happy time, with the only potential worry being that of
sun stroke (what's that...).
