Wishing you a Wombling Merry Christmas

Christmas here already. We seem to have reached the half way point between starting to organise the festival and the date at which it will happen.

I think we are generally in good shape.

We have booked our headline act, which we're very excited about (to be announced after Christmas) We have our web site live and ticketing system built and tested. Our licence application is starting to throw up issues that will need ironing out, but after one wobbly day where we thought the whole thing might go belly up, we believe we are back on track.

We are employing our friend Andy part time in the New Year to handle whatever festival tasks we throw at him and we're delighted he has agreed to help out. After talking to a couple of marketing gurus recently I'm more confident than before that we have got the emphasis right as far as our 'offering' is concerned.

Here are some rather inspiring pics of Baldersby Park and the Deer Sheds taken yesterday at minus 6 degrees. What is stoping festivals having Wombles do the litter picking? Some legal hurdles no doubt.

Merry Christmas xx
