At the Bridport Hat Festival last year there were lots of lovely stalls at the church hall, but they were unfortunately too far away.

And due to a high rent this year many did not return to the youth centre – again too far away.

Organisers, please use the town hall, the craft fair is in there now, many people would visit.

At the talk in The Bull Hotel, fewer than 20 people attended.

There was no need for cake and tea – we could buy our own, so the lecture was therefore a little expensive.

Bring the competitions back to the Bull please and use the town hall for all our local hat people at a reasonable price.
