MESSAGE OF THANKS
On behalf of the festival committee and myself I wish to
thank everyone for their tremendous support in helping
again make the festival a superb event.
To all our volunteer staff who worked so tremendously hard
over the weekend and the staff and management of
The Whitby Club we say -- 'thank you, thank you, thank you'
To my wife, Angela (Co-director) and the driving force behind it all
-- 'Very well done'. You worked so hard to pull it all together despite experiencing a deal of ill health before and during the festival.
If you attended the festival as a performer, both main stage or
on the fringe we hope you enjoyed yourself and to our
audiences we say
'We could not have done it without you'.
As a non-profit making festival without any financial support from anywhere or anyone, it is so important that the footfall matches
our financial outlay.
Please keep spreading the word among your folkie friends and
why not get them to join you next year for a wonderful
folk festival experience?
Subject to confirmation -- We will do it all again
from 31st May to 3rd June 2018.
Cheers for now.
John Owen
Festival Chair and Co-Director
