Festival 2022 - Chairfs Re 1. The Trdil Weekend This is always the focal point of the Festival. and of course, the event on which we suryfvR or fail! Almost all our income comes from the %Yeekend (wristbands+artists' fees+catering). had worried beforehand that a. venues would be reluctant to let visitors into their homes. b. artists wouldn't apply: c. visitors wouldn't come. We were proved wrong on every accounL We had a good number of venues, plenty of arttsts applying and we estitnate 4000 people at the Trail. We soId 3000 wristbands, and there were children and others with free wristbands. We were pleased to offer free wristbands to refugee families. And we heard of people 'swapping' (non-removeable wristbands will sort this out next year). And it alvtsys happens. Setting up was extremety hard work, arKI we wouldn't have done it without all our wondertul volunteers, and full-time input from some trustees. Just as we were all set to go, we had the news that the Queen had died. This made the Friday before the Trail extremety problematic- firstly we had to decide whether to go ahead. then we thought the Town Council might not be able to give us use of the Hall, then we had to negotiate our space in the church alongside the need for a Spa for quiet contemplation. It took until mKlday to get this sorted but then we were full steam ahead. Reverend Carla was really helpful in accommodating the Festival, and as always Sue and Paul at the TC did eVehIng they could to help the Festival to happen. The Trail Weekend was a fantastic success. We had masses of feedbad( in person, via email afterwards, phone calls {and they are still coming in). Attached is a selection of responses. Feedback was about the quality of the art, the amount artists sold (almost every artist sold. and some sold quite a bit). Artists were bubbling over with enthusiasm about being able to talk to people. meet people. discuss their art, and talk to each other. Stsffin The build up to the Festival was very hard work for some of us oFder trustees {!), especially in the weeks before Ettie joined us, and V wouldn't recommend anyone doing it without paid help again. Even with Ettie it was. as always, a lot of running around. heavy lifti'ng, instant decisions etc. exarbated of course by the death of the Qun (and a Coupte of Covid no shows). As our temporary. late notice administrator, Eth"e proved to be invaluable. She got stuck in. and managed to bring order out of the chaos, even though she knew nothing about the Festival when she started. Basically, she was amazing! We couldn't have managed without her. We also had support from Jo. our social media person. and from Sue Cuifen who oversaw the whole of the artists application prosS, sorted much of the tech behind the prosS. designed the brochures and organised the printing (and much more). And she volunteered at the wkend1 We had just about enough volUnt[S for the weekend although. as always, Y were hampered by the occasional one who didn't tum up. Luckily there were enough of us trustees around to fill in gaps. CT 13.10.22
