Firstly...what a great weekend...I went to the palm house day and then to the show on Thursday night and had a great time at both.
I don't think its a case of people not making the effort. I think thats a bit unfair. I know a few local bellydance students now who have mentioned they would of liked to of attended but could not afford to do everything. The show was £14 and the confrence was another £30. Obviously people would rather watch the dancing. I couldnt afford to pay for everything and I know alot of others couldnt too. £44 quid doesnt sound much but its a big chunk out of some people's budget each month when they run a mortgage, kids, bills, dance classes.
