Meadows Festival Info

The Meadows, formerly the Burgh Loch, lie to the south of the Old Town of Edinburgh.The Meadows Festival has been held annually since 1975. It is a free community festival with sporting activities, local bands, stalls and family entertainment. This year's festival is to be held on 7th and 8th June 2008. The area of benefit is that part of Edinburgh which lies to the south of Prince's Street. The Festival is for all who live, work or have a social or commercial interest in the area. Applications are invited to provide information, charity and commercial stalls, from local bands, classical musicians and other performers to provide entertainment and for volunteers to assist with the management and running of the festival. Just click on the relevant label and get involved. As this is a community event involving children, families and all sections of the community, we have a policy for the protection of children and adults at risk. All of our volunteers will go through a free enhanced disclosure process to ensure that the festival is a success. We aim for a safe and secure environment for the festival

That would be Princes Street?

I realise what a lot of work is involved in making this happen. I take my hat off to you who have formed the committee and committed to making it happen. Well done.

The blog is standard format and is easy enough to use and refer to. Perhaps the application forms and other things you want to be readily accessibly should also be in a label applications. I'm not very good at it but the standard format does allow quite a lot of variation, pictures etc. Could be a (small) job for Hugh. I note that when you google Meadeows Festival the blog did not come up on the first page. I had to go into google blog search to find it from scratch (or to a link such as my newsblog). I wonder if the listings are correctly set allowing it to be put on search engines? In your Dashboard, under 'settings' there are a few options which if set correctly, may help.

Best wishes
