Subject: RE: newbie guide to Sidmouth folk festival
Defo going to offer ourselves as stewards next year. Enjoyed doing the stewarding almost as much as the festival and the fringe. Nice break and different head space than going from event to event.

Howard and Graham at the Manor Pavilion were super nice.

Best bit not stewarding was the last concert we attended. Chumabwamba at the Manor on Thursday night. They were called out for an encore and who do ya think got pulled up on stage to help them with a Johnny Cash impersonation? Clive Lever. It was fabulous.

Only 3 suggestions from me and they will go on the feedback form.

1. A proper disabled accessible shower.
2. The toilet was great, though individual keys would have been more helpful. Getting up 3 times a night to go seek the key 2 caravans away got to be a bit wearing. If it had been raining, I would have been in trouble as even dew covered grass was very slippery to walk.
3. Seating outside Ham for elderly and disabled queueing for big concerts.
