We now have 27 passes paid up, some will be non-ludes, but still a great turnout all the same.
As it happens, my OH has been in contact with the current tennants of the house we lived in last year, and they say they've had 2 letters from Japfest people so seems the organisers haven't updated their records

Obviously until this is sorted I won't be sending them any more money, as it's an almighty gentleman's sausage up!
