Dear Supporters
It appears I jumped the gun in sending out the news of our petition to
keep the May 1st Bank Holiday next year.
But, it is now published: – “Keep the May 1st 2023 Bank Holiday on that
date and not move it to May 8th”

If you feel like supporting this, many thanks,

Hello All

My petition:
Keep the May 1st 2023 Bank Holiday on that date and not move it to May
8th
Do not take the decision to move the Spring Bank Holiday again for the
second time in 3 years. Please consider more fully the negative effect
this can have on peoples' long made plans and commitments, whether in
leisure activities, manufacturing lead times or other endeavours.
In May 2020 the Spring Bank Holiday was moved to May 8th at short
notice. This affected many long-planned events, costing money (as in
cancelled flights/hotels, advertising costs) and with great
inconvenience to organisers. Does parliament not get the effect this had
on many Bank Holiday plans, including many traditional festivals with
international followings. Anyone wishing to celebrate the King's
coronation has the Friday, Saturday and Sunday - why do we need the
Monday as well?

(The problem with mothballing MHD matters for 5 months is remembering
what state things were left in and where. That explains why only about
20 on our supporters list got this email yesterday and the other 300
plus did not. This mail remedies that and gives the lucky 20 another
chance to read the info....)

May Heydays, 28th April - 1st May 2023
The May Heydays team is pleased to announce that Early-bird tickets for
2023 are now on sale. Prices are £97 per person for a weekend ticket,
with £20pp for camping. Under 18s’ and fulltime students’ tickets are
£48 with camping at £10. Stewards’ tickets are £48 (including camping).
These prices are valid until 31st January; subsequent prices are shown
on the website.
A booking form is attached and will also be available from the website.
The latest draft of the programme is now up, but remember this may be
subject to changes, so keep an eye on it. The 2023 dance-writing
competition is open (this year for Contras) and full details are at:
https://mayheydays.org.uk/rules23.html
We have also updated other website pages, for example with respect to
local Evesham info on camping, other accommodation, eateries etc, as
provided by the Tourist Information office.
We have had discussion with the school about feedback from this year’s
event and they have already or will be making some improvements based on
your suggestions. These include a higher field security-fence, increased
cleaning staff levels, better sound partitions in some halls and
improved gate security/lighting. Leaving times for campers staying over
until the Tuesday morning have been revised to avoid any conflict with
staff work needs and children arriving for the normal school day.
We will discuss catering aspects with the head caterer in January and
will advise later on the menu options.
Thank you for your continuing support for May Heydays and we hope to see
you over next year's May bank holiday weekend.
Keep well and best wishes
Monty,
