Dear
friends,
Your formal
invitation to
Tenterden Folk Festival 2007
Friday 5th to
Sunday 7th October
I
was in our local supermarket today and noticed, in the distance, a member of
one of the local morris sides. This was
a timely reminder that I had yet to send out this years invitation to
As
usual, sides are welcome to come and dance around the town on both Saturday and
Sunday. Sides are also encouraged to take part in the procession on
Saturday and are welcome to take part in a more formal display if they
wish. Saturday will remain the main day but there are still plenty of
opportunities for more sides to stay on for Sunday, so may I encourage you to
make a weekend of it. If your team can
only come on Sunday, no problem, you are more than welcome. We really would like to see more teams
dancing on Sunday, and as last year, we hope to have some free train tickets
available (see below).
On
the camping front, once again this year we can offer the use of a town centre
field for camping but the Woodlands Campsite just outside town will still be
available to those who prefer the added luxury of showers and electricity. We can still
provide indoor camping for those taking part in the Festival if you book in
advance. We do however expect sides making use of these facilities to
make a donation to the Scouts for the use of their premises.
Those
of you familiar with Tenterden will know it is blessed with its own heritage
railway, the Kent & East Sussex Railway, which runs for 10 miles along the
If
you know of any other sides that you would like us to invite to the Festival,
please let me know as soon as possible or just pass a copy of this invitation
on to them and tell me you have done so. In the last few years we have
come very close to being over subscribed so an early reply is recommended.
We
will be pleased to continue to provide a limited number of free weekend tickets
to sides confirmed in advance.
The
Festival will continue to follow the now very well established format with a
few minor changes and continued improvements. We will be booking guests
over the forthcoming months and full details will be published in the usual
folk magazines and on our web site at http://www.tenterdenfolkfestival.org.uk/
. I will also be emailing updates to
dance teams during the coming months.
Could
you let me know if your team is coming, or not, by emailing me at dave@NOSPAMgrace-house.freeserve.co.uk
(remove the NOSPAM to reply), not
the folkspots email please.
On
the other hand, if you are no longer involved with your dance team or do not
wish to receive any more information, please let me know and I will remove you
from my mailing list.
I
look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you all at Tenterden 2007.
