    Derived from images they posted on their Facebook page.

    They should've finalised a timetable sooner and publicised it better than they did. Social media is fine to let people know a festival is on, but a simple timetable in the local papers, dedicated website etc. would've been helpful.

    Agree with the general point but there is a timetable of events on page 16 of the Westmeath Independent this week - it's more detailed and lists more events than the one above.

    It's good they published it in print but only 3 days before the event is a bit short notice for most people.
