Hello fellow gurdy enthusiasts, Due to the economy and other factors the 2010 festival left OTW in the red. Thanks to some generous donations from individuals and a great fundraising french dance sponsored by Pat McG and his lovely wife Marjy, we are back in the black! However, not so much in the black that we had the needed startup to make the festival a go for 2011.
So we thought we would take this opportunity to regroup and get some input from everyone as to what you would like to see in the future. While the OTW board works on the organizational aspects of this festival, it doesn't belong to us, it belongs to you as a gurdy playing community. So, in order to plan the next event, we need input from all of you. Who do you want to see as instructors? When is the best time for the event? We've held it in September in the past because it was the best time to book Ft. Flagler, but things may have changed and we might be able to do it at another time of year. Do you have a preference? Would a weekend style workshop work better for your schedule or budget? Or would you rather keep the event similar to past years. If we are to do this in the future, and we would really like to because it is such a great time, we need your input! Please think about what you want to see and email us at [email protected]. We are looking forward to hearing from all of you. The Over the Water Board -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
