IWA National Festival 2009 is over

Sunday and Monday at the IWA National festival seemed similar in terms of overall numbers, but on these days there seemed to be more locals keen on a fun day out rather than boaters.

They were enjoying the displays in the main ring, and the opportunity to meet the owls close up afterwards.

The occasional light showers drove a few visitors into the marquees but otherwise it seemed rather quiet.

We were packed up quickly on the Monday after closing time, it was just a question of remembering how it fitted into the car when we came and packing it the same way.

Here’s the empty space between our two neighbours after we’ve finished.

We’re looking forward to next year’s IWA National Festival 2010 at Beale Park.

Thank you to all the visitors who introduced themselves - it was great to meet you face to face.

1. Hi Paul,
   Is it just me that is missing the photos from this entry when viewed in Firefox? (They are fine in IE.) I have the same problem with the “Rainy Days” entry from 1 August, but all the others are fine.

   I suspect the reason is two backslashes (rather than forward slashes) in the URLs of the images.
   Regards,
   Stephen

2. Stephen: Thanks for pointing out the stray backslashes. I’ve corrected them, but I’ve no idea where they came from as each blog is started from a template which is correct. I’ll have to watch out for them appearing again.

   And thanks for being so specific in identifying the problem, it makes it so much easier to correct.

   I have been re-sorting all the photos so they are stored by month rather than by canal and there may be one or two where the matching hyperlink is wrong but I’m gradually working my way through all the past blogs to check them.
