I would prefer to meet at 11 or it's a ridiculously early start for some
people.
If the procession is at 1, we'd still have an hour dancing before that. We
have very few reserve dancers, and realistically we're not going to be able
to dance before during and after the procession. Let's take it easy and not
exhaust ourselves before it.

According to their website we're dancing at the
Foundry car park, along
with about a dozen other sides. No times given, but I feel sure that at
least some of this will be in the morning before the procession. The venue
seems to be on the High Street. Facing the sea out of the station, it
seems to be a short walk to the left.
Quite honestly I'm feeling pretty annoyed about the lack of info. We
should not have to be in the position of guessing, so close to the day. On
the one hand we can hardly be blamed for not turning up at the right time
and place; on the other hand we don't want to risk an unreliable
reputation. And our name has been published on their website.
(Should we join Hannorah at Glastonbury instead? :))
So I think 11am will be too late. Totally agree it's a Sunday and a long
way to go, but we have committed to it so I think we need to be there
earlier. I would suggest meeting at the Foundry car park at 10.30, which
would mean catching the 09.40 from Fenchurch Street, arriving at 10.27.
May get us there a bit late, but I don't think we can risk the next train.
If we were to get there and find nothing happening I'd be as gutted as the
rest, but at least we could all go off for breakfast/brunch and hope to
find lots of free entertainment. The website claims it's the largest free
folk festival in the country.
This is all so incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. Grrrrrr!

Hi all,
Ok the overall attitude seems to be get there for 11. There is a train
leaving Fenchurch Street at 10.10 which gets there just before 11 and then
it's a 5-10 minute walk into town so this seems a good one for people
getting the train to aim for. These are the other calling points for people
wanting to join the train later:

I hope that all seems ok, I'm sorry there isn't more information but I
think we should be able to make it a good day. Hopefully we can garner some
more information at the meeting point and go from there.
Atm weather is meant to be cloudy but warm with a chance of rain. I'm
still planning on thin tights but also an umbrella!

I think we should still go, but I'm with Janet. It's going to take a while
to get there, so meet later.
11am at info point sounds reasonable.
We can dance around and about if we want, but that might be weather
dependant!

Hi,
I would go along with Nics plan but meeting slightly later at 11.00 am as
it will take a while to get there and it is a Sunday. Janet

Hi all
If we're going all that way I'd rather go a bit earlier to make more of a
day of it. I'm sure we could find some of our own 'spots' to dance before
and even after procession... I seem to remember a few allys and shop door
ways in our time ;) Info point seems a good starting point to meet -
10.30am? This would give us a chance to dance, have lunch together then
procession.
I don't think we should pull out now. Plus... We need to show off Beadnell
;)

Hi Becky and Leigh on Sea people
I am surprised the whole thing does not start a bit earlier? Is the
parade the first item? Starting later, I wonder what time it finishes cos
we will want to push off around 5pm.
I would like to meet so we can have lunch together and a practise to help
get into the groove.
Twelve or may be slightly earlier.
I saw an information tent marked on Belton Bridge on the festival map as a
meeting place but name time and place and I will be there.

Ok, so a bit more information!
The parade isn't until 1.15 but it's suggested we get there in plenty of
time before that. I'm talking to the manager of the whole event rather than
our contact who would have more precise information. He tells me she has
had some personal problems in the last couple of weeks but he has e-mailed
her to try and prompt her to give us more exact information.
I thought maybe aim to get there for 11 or half past? I'm not sure if
that's us hanging around for a stupid length of time. If the people going
could give opinions that'd be great. We could always meet at 12 and have
lunch together?
Let me know,
Becky x
