Continuing last year's successful formula there will be a concert on at least the Saturday night, probably Friday too, preceded by open mic for anyone who wants to do anything that can reasonably be passed off as bluegrass. If any scratch or proper bands who would like to perform could please get in touch beforehand, that would help with the organising (and probably get them a longer slot!) 'Phone 07807 358504 or let us know when you get there.
Price will be £18 for the whole weekend, including camping.
Appropriate reductions for incomplete attendance. You can stay Thursday and Sunday nights as well.
The new site will be considered a significant improvement on the previous. Closer to the motorway, modern buildings with plenty of picking spaces, indoor hot showers, a great stage and concert room, good food available from breakfast on.
One of the workshops on Saturday will be mandolin for complete beginners. Mandolins will be provided, so why not have a go?
Anything I've forgotten to mention will be wonderful too - like the beer for instance!
The address is;
Stoke Prior Sports and Country Club,
Weston Hall Road, Stoke Prior, BROMSGROVE, Worcs B60 4AL
DIRECTIONS
Coming off the M5 at J5 from the South turn right to go under the motorway. At the next roundabout take the exit that puts you back on the M5 heading back to the South. Between the roundabout and the motorway is a turn to the left (Stoke Road) which you must take or you will be back on the motorway. Follow this road for 1.8 miles, turn right over the canal and you have arrived.
Coming off the M5 at J5 from the North go round the roundabout and take the exit that puts you back on the M5 heading South. Between the roundabout and the motorway is a turn to the left (Stoke Road) which you must take or you will be back on the motorway. Follow this road for 1.8 miles, turn right over the canal and you have arrived.
For anyone else, the A38 goes through these two motorway roundabouts so follow the same instructions.
There will be signs.
