I love the *idea* of leaving it up until Beltane, but I think the weather of pastoral England is kinder to may poles than the weather here in Somerville. It's already so bedraggled that I shudder to think what a winter of snow storms, drunk college students, and wind will do. Also, in that tradition, the old pole is usually added to a bonfire. While that's cool, I think the Mayor might object :)
I'd be happy to have help -- we could do it at (say) 11 o'clock in the morning. I'd even be happy to save some of the ribbons for fertility charms -- email me offline if you want some. (genevramcneil [at] gmail [dot] com)
