A few more pictures from the weekend, mostly taken by committee members - sorry we couldn't be everywhere every day! If you have photos from the weekend please post them here for everyone to enjoy, thank you!

It's just over three weeks since the last bucket was rattled, the last chair stacked and the last poster taken down. We hope you have some wonderful memories of a fabulous weekend. Just in case you'd like to relive the weekend, we have some photos to share, taken on Saturday by the excellent photographer, NADIA JOLLY. Nadia has captured some wonderful moments, and she is happy for you to use her photos, just so long as you remember to credit her when you use them or re-post them. Which we think is very kind and generous of her!
If Nadia didn't capture you, or your performance wasn't on Saturday, we'll soon be posting some of Pauline's and some of Annie's photos taken over the weekend. :)

Well it's all over for this year; today I have aches, pains and feel a little weary but very happy and grateful for three fantastic days of wonderful people coming together to enjoy music, comedy, poetry, song and dance together.
Thank you to those who help plan it and run it; my wonderful hard-working committee and helpers, thank you to all those who volunteered their time, thank you to those who ate biscuits and cake; drank tea, coffee and squash; chewed the fat; washed up; came along, listened and participated; mopped up spilled tea; put out chairs and tables and then put them all away again; delivered and collected donation buckets; put donations in the buckets; fetched and carried; made sure everyone was OK, opened up and locked up the parish hall, our fantastic volunteer sound technicians, those who donated their PAs and last, but by no means least, all the great performers and folk who came along to support and enjoy live performances of mostly local and East Anglian buskers, singers, singer-songwriters, bands, dancers, comedians, musicians, a celebration of Norfolk, poets and morris dancers.
Thanks to Scott Butler and Folk on the Pier for their support as ever and to Cromer Town Council and Norfolk County Council for helping to finance the festival.
One final note: we really need more volunteers to help keep the festival free.
Thank you all, Malcolm
