    Hi Maeib,

    How was Delapre? Been eagerly awaiting a report. Enjoy your stint on the other side of the bar?

    It looks like we made the wrong choice with Newark in the end - it'll be back to Northampton for us next year!

    Guys - it's this week. Doesn't start until tomorrow tea time so there's still a chance to come.

    Been busy helping set up yesterday and today ready for the big opening.

    Of course, I was confusing the dates of the Cambridge fest with this one. Sadly other commitments mean we can't get over this week but if it's as good as we found it to be in 2007, we'll make it priority next year.

    Enjoy, and thanks for the comment!
