"I am not a sheep, I have my own mind. I am fed up with being told what and how to think? Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech, I will speak out."
I think I agree with that.
This Blog is my snapshot of what is happening locally.
Whether you view me as an activist, a mischief maker, a nutter, an irritant, or a recorder of social history probably depends on your position and point of view.

Thank you Douglas Adams
Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

An excellent event - thanks to all the participants and volunteers (and the weather!).
Splendid indeed - much better than last year - roll on next year!
Thank you for your kind comments.
If there is anything you think could be improved or something that you didn't like please do let us know. We can only improve it if we know what works and what doesn't.
If you don't wanted it published, just say so in the comment.
How about an evening event.....barn dance?? (Not worried if you publish this or not...)
We did try an evening event 2 years ago, but we sold very few tickets.
Got the feeling that if the event had been free, there would have been a better take up, but we had to pay for the band and the security, so couldn't make that work.
The events team are a little jaded after the 12+ hour day (we are getting on a bit)but would be very happy if a new team could run an evening event and "re-use" the marquee.
Can't say I was put off by the admission charge - I didn't know there was one till I got there! But it was reality rather "nominal" so can't think it deterred too many people.

Sorry for confusion. Meant charge for evening event in 2009.
Some people do object to the gate charge for Applefest but we have to raise some money or cannot stage event.
One thing that didn't work was the location of he Sunshine stage. The music was good, but painfully loud so it was impossible to talk to stall holders in that area.
Why not erect the Sunshine stage nearer the edge of the Burgage, facing towards the Palmers, so that people can still talk to each other?
It might be a good idea to have a "safety fence" to keep people from going too near the speakers - the noise level was way over the "First Action Level" (I am a Health and Safety professional).

I thought the event looked really good. Lovely day too and all seemed to enjoy the atmosphere that I saw..
Happened to be in Stottesden today . . . met a lady who travelled to Tenbury to visit the Applefest PM. She told me she was amazed that so many of the shops were closed . . . typical of the complacency of some of our retail outlets I'm afraid.
