Hurrah - we seem to be back to a more user-friendly style!
Thanks for your sympathies. More are now needed. I copied in the person who booked the bar - L - in my email to them and all the other vendors regarding set up etc. Have now had an email from another member of the committee telling me that L had forwarded my email to her raising concerns that I mentioned that if they wanted to they could bring tables and chairs. Apparently this is not on as tables and chairs weren't included in the risk assessment and they could be used as missiles. I replied saying that as the bar L booked had told me they were bringing tables and chairs I thought it only right to offer that as an option to them too. And I ended up saying that it seems I can do nothing right and I wish I had never agreed to book the food and drink. A bit of late night petulance from me I'm ashamed to say.
I don't know what is wrong with these people - they know that I can organise a whole street market single-handedly - and give them free pitches to raise funds for their causes - so why do they have to poke and prod on the one bit they should know I have more experience of than they do?
Do wrap up warm @PatE, nothing worse than feeling cold when one is inside the house. Sorry to hear about your OH's transfer Busy, keeping my fingers crossed that it wont mean more delays. Didy, you have every reason to feel grumpy under the circumstances, I don't know how you put up with them. You have my sympathy. Off to the village shop in the morning to get a few bits and pieces before it closes for the next couple of days - will be open as usual on Saturday morning. Marvellous little shop run entirely by folk from the village and surrounding area, never ran out of any supplies all through the pandemic. Hope the warm weather (sorry punkdoc, its warm here) holds for the weekend activities, but it's not looking too good for the London area is it.

I’ll ask the Mods to lock this one …
