Yes, this will be my 4th year at SRS, but it's moved this year, it used to be in Wales, so closer now

I think that says it all really Mr Tedstone, its the way of the world and unless you are vigilant and constantly check the WWW you miss things that may be of interest. The advent of the net marked the end of traditional advertising has we knew it, fly posters, local radio stations and primarily being in the "loop" so to speak. Nowadays if there is something happening that could be interesting you are no longer informed about it by any other means than the net and even then you have to look. In writing that, anything that is going to make people lots of money gets proper TV, radio and venue hype :-)

I think this is quite a big established festival on the summer circuit but again only those that want to know about it actually get to know about it.

Mentioned it to Mary (as she is more observant than me and reads the local papers) and she had not seen any local advertising either. Years ago there would have been posters and paper adverts. As you say it's all about the net now and social media. When I went to have my eyes tested a few weeks ago, a girl who works there, that I've known since school, asked me if I was going to the school reunion the next day. Replying that I had not heard about it she said it was on Facebook. Since I don't do Facebook I was therefore never going to know about it.
