I was wondering how your Rally worked out.  Is there alot of interest in your area in Classic Banjo or banjos?

[David Wade]

Thanks for your interest Ginny, seems a long time ago now!

Yes we had a slightly lower turnout than in previous years, there were some significant absences.

There were some new faces which is always good - the new range of Clifford Essex banjos created a good deal of interest, one gentleman would have bought my own "Sharpe" which is the "mid-range" model, then and there for cash.

Looking at "5-sringer" which arrived last week, we are at least turning out more players than ABF rallies - not bad for the north of England!

Incidentally, I played a Cammeyer z-b for my solo set at the concert.
