It strikes me that the event should be scaled down and run in a place(s) in Sidmouth where all the events are indoors, so that if it rains, the whole event is not saboutaged.

Sometimes people need to sit back and take stock of the situation.

Its hard to go backwards, but sometimes it is necessary just to keep such an historic event from closing completely.

It would be a shame to see Sidmouth die, so come on everybody think smaller and drier and I am sure it will still be a great event.
