Hi Anne!

The Sidmouth Festival Fringe 2005 newsletter published at the end of August (by Folk South West, Wren Music, Great Western Morris, John Dowell, Derek Schofield, Gohn Golightly, Bill Lankester and Colin Andrews) said that Bill Lankester (President of the Friends of Sidmouth) had made provisional bookings of the main Festival venues.

I e-mailed Bill to say that, if there's any chance of running singarounds in the cafe bar at the Manor Pavilion, I'd like to be involved. I also wrote to East Devon District Council and have received the standard letter saying that all developments will be publicised through the press and the Council's website at www.eastdevon.gov.uk. (There's a shortcut from the home page to Sidmouth festival.)

I understand, from Tony Day, that there is to be a planning meeting in Sidmouth on 23 October.
