(The problem with mothballing MHD matters for 5 months is remembering what state things were left in and where. That explains why only about 20 on our supporters list got this email yesterday and the other 300 plus did not. This mail remedies that and gives the lucky 20 another chance to read the info....)
Dear Supporters
May Heydays, 28th April - 1st May 2023
The May Heydays team is pleased to announce that Early-bird tickets for 2023 are now on sale. Prices are £97 per person for a weekend ticket, with £20pp for camping. Under 18s’ and fulltime students’ tickets are £48 with camping at £10. Stewards’ tickets are £48 (including camping). These prices are valid until 31st January; subsequent prices are shown on the website.
A booking form is attached and will also be available from the website.
The latest draft of the programme is now up, but remember this may be subject to changes, so keep an eye on it. The 2023 dance-writing competition is open (this year for Contras) and full details are at: https://mayheydays.org.uk/rules23.html
We have also updated other website pages, for example with respect to local Evesham info on camping, other accommodation, eateries etc, as provided by the Tourist Information office.
We have had discussion with the school about feedback from this year’s event and they have already or will be making some improvements based on your suggestions. These include a higher field security-fence, increased cleaning staff levels, better sound partitions in some halls and improved gate security/lighting. Leaving times for campers staying over until the Tuesday morning have been revised to avoid any conflict with staff work needs and children arriving for the normal school day.
We will discuss catering aspects with the head caterer in January and will advise later on the menu options.
Thank you for your continuing support for May Heydays and we hope to see you over next year's May bank holiday weekend.
Keep well and best wishes
Monty, for The May Heydays Team
