If you actually read my post properly girl friday, you will notice that i said it was impossible to get any information leading up to the sweeps festival, not during it, therefore it made it difficult for people with other priorities to plan their weekend.infact the tourist information centre in rochester only handed out single programmes if you asked.Last year as i previously said these were freely available in all of the shops in the high st,tourist info center and other public places. its all very well if you dont have anything else to do all weekend, but some people have other priorities and like to know whats going on before hand,Also no leaflets could be handed out by any of the businesses in rochester to publicise the festival, as the tourist information centre didnt give us any.
