Well, hello hello 
Woodford Folk Festival is going to be BRILLIANT this year! I've just come back from the Organisers Group Meeting/ Programme Launch totally excited 
The site looks sooo beautiful, more spacious and green, and the lineup of acts and performers is just, really *stunning*... 300 different events every DAY!!! for the 6 days; it is the best lineup I have ever seen in my 13 years there (including YES, the Cat Empire!)
AND....    TWO CIRCUS venues: the *Palace* for performances all day, and a brand new space: *Circadia*, in a magnificent spot in the heart of the festival, totally for workshops, including EVERY NIGHT with TePOOKa, other great spinners, and plenty of space and time for  !! JUGGLE JAM !! space!!!  PLAYTIME at UberWoodford!!
OK is that enough! Get the idea!! Get the tickets organised peoples, or volunteer (plenty of places left) for 5 hrs a day in return for a free ticket...and come on up... it is gonna be WONDERFUL!!

Now, the second thing is getting yourself a ticket...
This year the ticket sales have been capped... for the first time ever. If you want to come, buy your ticket
Day tix will be released in November.
The prices may sound high but remember it is for 6 days and it is a huge festy with amazing diversity. It's like about 10 festivals happening concurrently.
The other way to come is as a volunteer in which case you work for 5 hours a day and have the rest of your time to play... the application process is all online now, so go for it! (Tilly who does Camp Wardens has a post a few down from this)

if anyone wants to be a 'Happy Camper' (camp warden) i am managing the volunteers for this department.
 the job involves being out in the camp grounds and talking to patrons, most of whom are pretty excted to be there and happy to do as asked.
one advantage of working here (apart from the other marvelous people) is that if you can come up early (i.e xmas eve or xmas day), and don't mind working long hours on boxing day and the first day of the fest, you can actually work the majority of you hours in those first 2 days, which means you get more time during the fest. which means more time for and 
i would love to have HoPpers on the team as everyone i have through gabe are awesome!
you will still need to apply via the volunteers website , but let me know who you are and i'll keep an eye out when i a processing the applications 
tilly

Unfortunately It seesm as though our propossal for Woodford wasnt accepted by the commitee. I am however hoping to be part of Te Pooks thing, although We are not sure of entry for the rest of Solar (another 3).
So if any group is looking for 4 professional performers to be part of their thing please let me know. I am really looking forward to Woodford, but cant really leave the rest of my troup out in the 'cold' I doubt its gonna be that!!

Hey Rob,
I'll PM you! I am going up to an organisers meeting next weekend.. the program is pretty much set but I am happy to talk tto the right peeps about if in case someone drops out...But if there is not a way through being performers and your gang can come up early, then there is always the option of volunteering...remember our housemate Tilly?

Has anyone got any tips on how to get there?? I'm relying on the ever faithful public transport system (breath still being held.....perhaps I should stop) and my two feet and a heartbeat. I think I need to be there early as I've been selected as a volunteer so I think there's some orientation with that. Any advice would be welcome.
Cheers
Doc
P.S. et oopak..........I'm confused too

Hey Docta
Public transport will take you to Caboolture railway station. There isn't much in a way of bus service prior to the Festival from there to the site (about 25 kms) though there is a shuttle from Boxing Day throughout the Festy. Hitching possible, the road is straightforward, but arranging a lift from Brisvegas is probably the easiest... The Dept Head for whatever Dept you are volunteering may well know who else is coming from your area... and also of course check with them about when/where the orientation is... first shift times etc.
If your orientation is on Boxing Day plan to get there as early as possible cos sometimes there are queues. They are trying to fix the gate system from last year's chaos but I would plan to come early if at all possible, even Christmas afternon if you can get a lift (I am assuming the Vol gate is open then, it usually is. It is NOT open for the general public though!!)
See you in the Circus tent! Or at Piazza Juggle Jam!
