ROBIN HOOD FESTIVAL - MORE NEWS!

Dear all, hope that you are all having a splendid weekend!

Some have expressed interest in getting the books signed and now you can. As I have mentioned previously in a blog, I will be attending the Robin Hood Festival, in August. Details are as follows:

The opening ceremony will be on the Monday, starting at 11am were there will be several entertainers making their way in a procession from the visitor centre to the jousting arena.

On Monday, 5th of August, I will be in the Visitor Centre from 11am onwards. On Saturday, 10th of August, I will be at the Jousting arena, officially taking part (not in the jousting ha-ha) from 2.30pm onwards, but will be there before.

The full programme of events isn't out yet, though I am told that there will be Falconry displays at 12 and 2pm.

As a very late entrant to the festival, I did not quite make the the souvenir programme. However, Dragonstone will be promoted in a variety of ways, which is fabulous news and cannot wait to get these going! (These have yet to be discussed.)

For those making their way to the centre, I have been told that those travelling from the Nottingham/Mansfield area, they close the Swinecote Road off at 9.30am near to Edwinstowe for safety reasons, so there will be a four mile detour.  For those travelling from the Worksop direction, there will be no problems here.

For those who follow me on Facebook, I have a small decision to make about the day that I will require some assistance/advice with :o). (Will follow-up on FB soon).

I am super excited and there is a lot to do to prepare. I really hope to see you all there!

Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you to Simon Redfern, Gary Joynt, Izi Banton and Clare Morrell, for their help and, for inviting me to represent Nottinghamshire.  In addition, I would like to thank them for providing me with the opportunity to promote my book at this regional, national and international event.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Warmest Regards,

James
