Last Minute Accomodation

jestermarc — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:36:51 +0000

With the festival drawing ever closer there are still a few people having problems with accommodation.

If you have or know of any spare accommodation please let us know, whether it be a spare bed in a twin room that is not being used, a spare room/bed/sofa in a holiday cottage, or if one of your choir has had to drop out of the festival and has not yet cancelled their accommodation.

You can contact us by email to the usual people, post on this thread, or post on our Facebook page.

Thanks
