excitement still building
Posted on 16. Aug, 2007 by admin in blog
many thanks to Ange for kicking of the blog with that witty and stylish entry. Now it’s my turn. Festivals are a game of two halves. First you have the calm planning period, which involves regular steering group meetings with cups of tea, biscuits and minute taking. At this stage, the festival seems to be a distant speck on the horizon and everyone indulges their fancy about what could be. After that it gets a bit chaotic. Now we have to deliver the blummin thing. At this stage all thoughts about life after the festival disappear, there is just that one thing occupying the mind, night and day, day and night…flip….flip….FLIP! What’s worse my right hand person, Ange, is leaving. She’s been the cornerstone of the festival and is moving onward and upward to better things. So chaos is looming and the heat it on. But this is what it’s all about, it’s what we’ve signed up for. Some people enjoy bungey jumping and white water rafting, for me it’s running a festival.
Well that’s a little taster of running Flip – more later
