Dear friends,
Your formal invitation to
Tenterden
Folk Festival 2004
Friday 1st to
Sunday 3rd October
Following the retirement of Dave Grabham as the Festivals dance co-ordinator,
it falls to me to send out the invitations to this years Tenterden Folk
Festival.
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 why not make a weekend of it. We can provide a very basic campsite and indoor
camping for those taking part in the Festival and will be arranging parking
places for a few caravans 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. Following the sudden last
minute problems over the use of the railway field last year, we are reviewing
our relationship with the K&ES Railway and seeking an alternative and more
formal campsite. We will let you know
the final arrangements in due course.
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 www.folkspots.btinternet.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you and hope to see many of our regular
supporters and some new ones in Tenterden in October.
Yours sincerely,
Alan
Alan Castle.
Trustee and Festival Director.
This is to confirm that we will / will not be attending
