Our next event was somewhat closer to home – the annual Wallingford Bunkfest on Saturday Aug 31st. Another good day, with a variety of dance spots with a number of local teams, and at the end of it another excellent Chunkest provided by Sue at her home in Crowmarsh Gifford. This year’s Festival was dedicated to the memory of Bob Wyatt, co-founder of the Festival in 2002 and Sue’s partner, and in a nice touch the main stage was renamed the Bob Wyatt stage.. The following day, 1st September, a smaller number of the team were back at Bunkfest to take part in the 1 hour tribute show to him, organised by Jody Wyatt, Bob’s nephew and musician, and featuring a number of Bob’s favourite bands, musicians, singers plus ourselves. We just did one dance, Princess Royal, before all the participants came back on stage for one final song, written by Bob – a fitting tribute.
