Less than one week to go till the 2024 Festival!

Apr 20, 2024

one week to go

Well, it's less than one week to go till the 2024 Festival gets underway!

Hopefully, by now you will have:

  • been rehearsing in earnest
  • booked your run-through with an official accompanist if you needed to
  • bought a Festival programme
  • bought tickets to attend the classes over the eight days

Some or all of the above should hopefully apply to you!

We have a wonderful band of volunteers who are our stewards throughout the eight days of classes and without them our classes couldn't run. And this year as well as welcoming back our hardy, experienced stewards, we also have a new group of people joining us for the first time. As Festival Secretary, I rely on my stewards to keep me posted on how classes are running and if there is anything I need to help with. I also need them to mark down all your wonderful results so that I can update our system and hence, add your results to our website.

This is our third Festival since Covid halted us back in 2020 and 2021 and this marks the 50th anniversary of the Sheffield Plate. Traditionally, our Sheffield Plate winners have taken home the Sheffield Plate and returned it to us in time from the following year's Festival. From this year onwards, not only will the winners have custody of the Sheffield Plate for a year, they will also be awarded Sheffield Plate medals which are theirs to keep.

Can't wait to get this year's Festival underway! See you at The Villa Marina from the 27th April!

Sandra Loach

Festival Secretary
