PHEW! All over for another year

The 3rd CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL held over the August Bank Holiday 2008 has been hailed as a great success.
It is estimated around 4,500 visited the event over the 2 days and we want to thank everyone who took part or came along - without you it would be a waste of time and effort - not to mention money.
Talking of which we haven't yet covered our costs so if anyone would like to make a donation please click on the 'Make a Donation' tab below or this link: GO>>>
We are looking for feedback - not to make us feel good (we know there are areas in which we can improve) but to help us with funding applications for next year's Festival - yes we are thinking about doing it all again!!!
So if you'd like to tell us how it was for your family please email Stephen Derges (GO>>>) - he's waiting for mail.
We hope you really enjoyed the weekend - for us the joy was in seeing the smiling faces and knowing that families enjoyed a wonderful, low-cost weekend of fun and activities.
Photos and othef feedback will appear on the site as soon as we can get round to it, so please check back in due course. In the meantime feedback on photos from previous years can be accessed below.
