2012 English Country Music Weekend

Hi Everyone,

This year's ECMW met with such enthusiasm that we will be repeating it at Brightlingsea next year.  Please make a note of the date: 22-24 June 2012.

We have reserved all of the town centre B&B accommodation - Ye Olde Swan, West Cottage, the Motel, Hurst Green and possibly more, so that we can accommodate the guest speakers, and so that you all have the best opportunity of getting a room if you'd rather not camp.  Obviously we won't know how many rooms are available until we have sorted out our guests, but let us know if you would like to be on the B&B list.

General news and conversation will continue to flow via the Facebook site (the one with the picture of a timber-framed building, not the one with the melodeon).

It seems to be time for a bit of housekeeping on the mailing list.  Of the 130-ish people on the snail-mail list very few came to the ECMW this year, so I will be sending out a letter asking all snail-mail contacts to tell me that they want to stay on the postal list or they want to transfer to email.  Otherwise I will remove them from the mailing list.  Please remind friends and acquaintances if this is relevant to them.

See you all next year?  Can't wait!

Celia - 5.8.11
