[MayHeydays] News from the M.H.D. coalface

[Announcements for May HeyDays]

Dear Supporters

Thanks to all who responded so well to our last announcement in 
mid-December, upping E.B. bookings by 38% and maintaining ‘newbie’ 
levels at about 24%.
But, way to go, folks! I don’t know about you, but I hate it when we 
manage to miss the ‘early-bird treats’ from such as Chippenham, Sidmouth 
or Lichfield, so this is our last reminder to get your booking forms in 
soon. Money needs to be in our bank - or cheques in my hands - by 
midnight on 31st January (special deliveries accepted!).

After that, Weekend tickets are £115 and steward tickets £57 each.  And 
we still need more stewards....

Now, words from our sponsor:

Where are all you budding callers? Remember David and Kathryn Wright 
will be organising caller training sessions again this year, so if you 
want to brush up your style and have a chance to call a dance or two for 
a festival audience, get your names to Mecki: 
director at mayheydays.org.uk.

Likewise, there is this year's Original Contra Dance competition, with 
space for a few more entries - see 
https://mayheydays.org.uk/rules23.html.
This event went very well last year when the dance style was Playford - 
come on, you Contra lovers, step up to the plate!

A lift needed:
We have one performer coming in from Rumania and she will need picking 
up from Birmingham on Friday 28th afternoon and returning to the airport 
on Tuesday 2nd at 9am. Anyone booked or planning to book who thinks they 
could help, please let us know and we will sort out a deal w.r.t. to 
ticketing or petrol money.

Best wishes

Monty & Mecki, The MHD Paired Office Sharers.
