Replying to The Walker Sisters:

 

"Have been going to Skeggy since Year 2 giving the move to the Central a miss. Since Skeggy has been back in it's rightful home it has struggled to capture its unique vibe. Always a friendly, soulful gig, I'm sad to say its all but lost its magic. Friday night was authentic, Saturday ok. but the afternoons, were shockingly poor, save for Soul Sam (last hour Sunday). My loyalty to this weekender will likely continue as it holds so many fantastic memories of friends past and present. Bring back the Skeggy DJ stalwarts."  

 

 

No idea why I can't answer directly to The Walker Sisters' post - no quote button

But.......Last year we had ONE negative comment out of hundreds of positives and that negative comment was YOURS.

Why even bother coming if you had such a bad time last year? You could see the DJ line-up advertised on here and Facebook - so presumably you knew what to expect.

We have no idea who you are referring to as the Skeggy DJ stalwarts as you have given no names.....their allegiance probably lies with other weekends now - maybe it's time for you to do the same.

Your loyalty to our weekender only matters to us if you enjoy it....and whilst we take each and every criticism of the event seriously, we would like to think that the vast majority of our supporters would do the decent thing and come and have a chat or send a PM, instead of bleating on a public forum about it not being the same. 

Look forward to hearing all about how much you hate it next year :wicked::wicked:

Firstly Miss Dee I was not bleating I was posting an opinion which in a free and democratic state is my right to do so. Do I deserve this vitriol for not posting 5* . For your information I have no allegiance with any weekenders, and have patronised Skeggy for 17 years mostly twice a year, so if anything my allegiance lies with Skeggy. Thankyou for your invitation to go elsewhere I will duly oblige. So sorry you won't be reading 2018 comments.

For sure I will give an unbiased opinion of Butlitz next week.

First time for everything and since I don't know what event got announced first, I would have preferred no clash, but that's how it is.

Withdrawn.

Why then, if your allegiance lies with The Original Skegness Weekender did you not exercise any democratic diplomacy and speak to any of the promoters before posting your opinion?

Surely after 17 years you should realise how approachable and friendly we are?

We've had plenty of 5* comments already, and we certainly don't berate anyone who offers constructive criticism - we've always been open to any suggestions and aim always to collaboratively improve the event year on year - so vague, destructive and frankly insulting comments from the same person TWO years running will always receive a frosty reception. 

Sorry you will not be moving forward with us.
