I think you have it smack on.
The school provides an excellent place to hold the festival. In the middle of winter, at least you can be housed inside and from what I saw, the facilties were excellent.
Whats more a swimming pool next door and very good golf course next door, plus a town that is being revamped with very good shopping facilities.
Its very difficult to find anything better.
Sometimes I think some people do not appreciate what is involved in putting on such events.
