looks like the siam tent has been moved slightly and the real ale tent will be at the far end and not at it's side which leaves a odd gap between the main stage and the siam there does seem to be more room around the main stage but in width and not depth also spreading out the steam fair may not be a bad idea, it might not be for everyone but there is nothing like a late night go on dodgem when you are half cut does anyone know what the chief school is? I think the chef school is a workshop for kids - I could be wrong and I can't find it at the moment, but it rang a bell. Then it played the castanets and danced off singing a song about a frog  |

The pixies have ignored my tweets... perhaps we will get an announcement soon. If not I will ask at Womad and let you know what they say. Frank water was a perfect trinity, chilled pure water, recycling waters and supporting a good cause. Let's hope Womad keeps the three elements going. |

If Womad had a forum they could get feedback from the punters, what an idea.

How do they get feedback from the punters. Be very surprised if there was consultation on moving the main stage and if there was, do not think many punters would have thought it a good idea.
Do they send out an e-questionnaire after the festival each year? Cannot remember if I have ever seen one or not.

Del messaged them after last years WOMAD with a link to the forum page for feedback about WOMAD 2016 and they said they would check it out
Also there was a email feedback thingy too

I always got the feeling they listened to us on the old Forum.

If the last year of elections and referenda has taught us anything, it's that the public doesn't know shit and should not be consulted, and that we should only take advice from people who know what they're talking about.

No steam gallopers makes me sad :-(
No Frank water makes me sad :-(
but hopefully getting around site will be easier than last year, looks like an extra through route. I missed stuff cos I couldn't fight through the crowds..
...but what I really want to know is: where is "B"? There is an A, a C, and a DEFGH...but no B. What does it mean??...or maybe I just need to find my specs.
