why not just go and see Heretic,as an outsider it sounds like,you either dont trust the organiser,and think he might book crap,or are not prepared to take the risk to see someone new.

Since many acts were conflicting with each re times (they did not stagger the schedule) information about the acts would have been useful in making an informed decision. One only has so much time and energy. If an act you know nothing about is against an act you know and enjoy, which would you choose? That little bit of information might change your mind.

Re the camping. Charging more than the typical going rate per pitch might pay for some private security. Needs someone willing to organise it, though.

Re knocking down drunken Yoof or Morris while driving down High Street. More challenge in hitting the Yoof as those suckers move fast. Though would be more colourful and musical if you hit the Morris.

Re walking to Strood. Well, we B&B up Watts Avenue just up from the GI. A walk to high end of Town is something of a killer for arthritic feet, hips and now knees. I never made all the way down to the bridge end, because I feared not being able to get back to GI. Strood just too far. Maybe I should get a mobility scooter. Ugh!
