(Please note: In the event of unforseen circumstances, this "Early Bird" payment is not normally refundable.
However, the organising committee are generally prepared, if contacted beforehand,
to transfer to another named person; or to carry over the payment to another year.)
This bargain "Early Bird" SeasonTicket is issued for ALL of Gt Alne Long Weekend.
(It is here to encourage early commitment, and to simplify our admin.)
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

If visiting though, you are equally WELCOME to come to any part of this long weekend of folk dance, music & song.

You're asked just one price to partake in any whole daytime series of workshops.

Similarly for an evening. All one price. Workshop before music start-up, through a whole evening's varied dancing.

We hope thus, you will try many kinds of dance. (Do things you've not done before?) Perhaps try making music too.
Children under 10 years are free throughout (if accompanied by a paying, participating supervisory adult).
**********************************************************************************************************************************
You may instead drop by for even just ONE session - perhaps outside. (Enjoy some delicious food too.)
The Maypole, the Border Morris and the Handbell Ringing make mid Saturday & mid Sunday ideal for visits.

If you do this, then:
Please come-inside & sign-in. Just make a fair contribution to our cost of hall hire.
We would request £3 per participating adult for a single workshop session.
(To encourage their young people in folk activities, any accompanied 10 to 16's are £1 per workshop session ).
Children under 10 years are free throughout (if accompanied by a paying, participating supervisory adult).
If visiting supervisory adults prefer watching your under 10 child then £1 per child per workshop is appreciated. 
(£2 per child per completed workshop is an appropriate contribution by supervising spectator of a 10 to 16 year old.)

We wish thus to pass on the active traditions of folk dance, music & song.
The price structure is to encourage parents (& grandparents also) to bring along children together with their friends:
to discover the joy to be found in the folk activities, dance and music available. ***********************************************************************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************************************************************
We hope these prices and workshops encourage participation of young people, yet leave most of the evening for adults to dance.
Please bring along as many young people as you think may be interested in the folk fun, most especially in the middle of the day.
We are very appreciative that senior citizens are in general, pleased to contribute in the "adult" category.
This greatly helps to pass-on the joy of folk music and dance to a younger generation.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
We hope next year to provide a small bonus to show appreciation to all who have bought any 2012 Season Ticket.

An occasion here with the hall otherwise unused, allows an informal chance to play music.
