Just got back and I'm afraid too much work to do a full review as yet. 
I'd like to say though that this was easily the best Hawkfest yet.  The
weather stayed fine (too hot if anything) the whole weekend.  The
infrastructure held out, with water being generally available and the
toilets being emptied and cleaned every day.  The real ale in the bars
was good and the choice of food quite decent.  The bands were great and
I'm only sorry that the marquees were too hot during the day and we had
to listen from outside.  I hope the bands weren't too discouraged by the
numbers of us who did this. 

The only thing I could think of to improve was that there be a couple of
communal fires by the stalls where people could meet and chat. Omnia
Opera had a very good fire setup that was off the ground and I enjoyed a
chat with them on the last night. It would be good to see more of that,
and perhaps the folks from crew camping could pop out for a chat with
the fans.

So a huge THANK-YOU to Kris, Margaret, Dave, the bands, the crews and
everyone who contributed.  It was a masterpicece of organisation.  We
enjoyed it immensely and it was great to spend time with you other fans.
