OR WHY WAS DRUID 2002 SO WONDERFUL?
I heard the forum was a great success. Bill Worthington & Damh Smith raved to me about it! Congratulations! BB,
Philip Carr-Gomm, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids
I really enjoyed the Druid 2002 forum and look forward to something similar next year - it would be nice to see if we can get someone out of the Lady's lodges of the Ancient Order of Druids. Everyone else's talks were brilliant! I really enjoyed Fred Hageneder, Damh Smith, Ronald Hutton and Emma Restall Orr. It was really well organised and very educational - it was my first mixed Druid organisation forum as well. Thanks very much, Love,
Samantha Conway
Thanks for a brilliant day out! ‘Twas all round enjoyable and even had the knock on effect of bringing lots of clarity and very good stuff into my life! Thanks ever so much!
Jo Coffey
Firstly, we've not met, but may I thank you for a splendid day at Stourbridge. It was my first contact with formal druids, and I enjoyed the day enormously.
John Felthouse
Just wanted to say how much we appreciate all your work re Saturday. We had a really great time, met some seriously lovely people and sold books too! Venue felt really good. THANK YOU!! Blessings,
Julia & Jon Day, Capall Bann Publishing, merchandisers on the day
I hope you are having a well-earned rest following the forum. While we couldn't stay for the whole day we did have a great time. Thanks :)

Just to say, "thank you" for organising a very good conference. The selection of speakers was excellent - I learnt a lot about "other people's Druidry" in a short space of time. How fascinating that the same term means so many different things to different people! Thank you again for all your hard work - and thank you to Krys for selling "Avalon" for me.
Kate Gooch, editor of ‘Avalon’ magazine
Many thanks for a great forum - Well done. I was well impressed by the
organisation.
Derek Carr, organiser of the Greet Moot
BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, WELL DONE to both of you. The Druid Forum was an undoubted success and your hard work was well rewarded with a fine turnout and some very interesting speakers and performers. As you probably would guess my personal favourite was Fred Hageneder - not just because he stayed with us! - who expanded my knowledge of trees further than my own personal 'fetish' about yew trees (though he did confirm my view that they are THE most interesting trees on the planet). I thought he was superbly received by the audience and his combination of information, education and entertainment was ideal for such an occasion.The mix of speakers was incredibly well judged and covered aspects of Druidry which all deserved their place in the event. It was pleasure to be of some service to 'the cause' and I look forward to future endeavours, which I am certain will take your concept of the Forum onto greater success. Last but not least, the lemon drizzle cake gets my vote as "Best food of the day" love to both, see you soon
Chris Day, Steward on the day
Just a quick email to say thanks a lot for organising such a great conference! A brilliant day, with brilliant speakers. There was a fantastic atmosphere amongst everyone, and I think that's one of the most important things. This was my first conference, and this was such a fun experience, that I am looking forward to going to more. Congratulations on the success, which I definitely think it was! Thanks, again. Take care,

Thank you again for a lovely day, it was really interesting and very enjoyable. My Dad would have got such a buzz out of it, he would have been talking about it for weeks, especially the musician from Austria.
Alison Turner, daughter of the late Chris Turner, founder of the Druids of Albion.
Hi there, just a quick thank you for putting together such a brilliant day
yesterday! My daughter (she is only nine) reckons it was the best day out she has
been to! She was even singing along to Damh The Bard. Thanks again, peace & blessings
Chris Ryman
Hiya Geoff, just a line to thank you for a grand day, and welcoming, shall perchance meet you at other occasions where we have more time, thanks again,
Brian Harkins ( EOTHBORGH HLAW ) in the white peak.
I had a wonderful day and a good journey back to Ayrshire, thanks.
Louise Turner Young, Druids of Albion Chief and speaker on the day.
Congratulations ! The conference was fantastic and not a dull moment all day. A terrific achievement. If no one else has come forward to write the review for ‘Pagan Dawn’ I would be more than happy to do it. Just let me know. Blessings
Morgan Adams, PF RC for Birmingham and Grove co-ordinator BDO
Thank you so much for organising the forum, my friends and I had a wonderful
day. Unfortunately we had to leave early, and I did not get the opportunity
to thank you personally for this excellent day. Thank you again
S. Breakwell
Great day, wonderful. You guys really did a fantastic job and the speakers
were superb. I don't think it could have been any better. The music was
fantastic (not that I'm biased towards quality music or anything!) and the
Prof was a breeze. I think everyone else felt the same. Well done.
Bert Priest (Official Raving Monster Loonie Party)
Hi Love. First of all though, well done for Saturday. Sorry I didn't stay long. I hope you feel I gave enough. I was so very tired! I'm proud of you, baby. Well done. Yes, you did us justice; we said so on the day. Bless you.
Emma Restall Orr (Joint Chief of the British Druid Order and speaker on the day).
Have you recovered now? It took me several days and I hoped I wasn't going to be permanently tired. Garth finished the roof the next day and his Uncle arrived for dinner. That was nice because although I was still tired, I was on a Druid type high and very silly!
Elaine Gregory, ceramic artist and merchandiser on the day.
Andy and I just wanted to thank you for our experience of Druid 2002. We found the whole day to be a wonderful gift of insight, healing and freedom. So many aspects, but so much unity... Thank you, Blessings all,
