Kevin - This element of the festival is not in Ruth's remit as I understand it. She has looked into it and reported what she could to both sides. Can't say fairer than that. It is a new system. There is likely only a handful of people dealing with this among other things to do with the festival.

I am just feeling worried that I won't be able to go at all if the other camp site gets booked up and we don't make steward, especially now it has been built up so much to me. Yes I really want to be there. But if it doesn't happen I will learn to live with it and just go to some other smaller festivals this year and try Sidmouth next year.

Now... just breath. As you have stewarded before, I am sure you will make it this year. See you next weekend in Rochester.
