Although the weather is hot, our staff are setting up the Park.

We hope for blue skies like this during the event!

Here is stage build:

And here is main stage in evening:

Final staff meeting for 2018 was busy! There was lots of logistics for new staff to remember… But many old hands are there to help out.

We used “wish balloons” to share our hopes for the event. How about you? What “new beginnings” do you hope for from WMDF this year? What “new beginnings” do you hope for over the next ten years?

We are all looking forward to a great festival…. with many more photo ops!

Thanks to all who came to our first meeting at the Machi-tsukuri Center. Great to see many new and many familiar faces. Many nationalities and walks of life, too. These images are of talk session and group photo, but we also went a little of the wall (as usual) playing bingo and practising jingles.

More is to come in our next meeting, where we will be spending much of the time doing
festival preparation work, including making WMDF bags out of T-shirts (yes, you read that right: come along to find out how).
