Saturday 31 May 2008
10am - 4pm	Morris dancing and Appalachian clog at various locations in Woodbridge and on the Quay
7pm - 11pm	Apologies but we have had to cancel the Ceilidh with Aardvark at the Dome, Woodbridge School.  We have just been told that the hall will be carpeted for exams and we cannot remove the carpet. As this is a safety hazard and there are no other suitable alternatives available at such short notice we have no choice but to cancel the Ceilidh.
8pm	High Water Mark shanty singers at the Cherry Tree Pub (which also has a beer festival all weekend!)
8pmish	Informal music / song session at Woodbridge Football club.
