Thank you McGrath of Harlow for mentioning my website (seered.co.uk) - certainly the internet will be useful to help coordinate 2005 but it would be helpful if we started with some organisation of who aims to do what and preferably without too much duplication. My website has a long history of documenting some of the 'local politics' of Sidmouth and I intend that it is kept up to date with all 'local news, politics and administration' matters relating to the 2005 festival. A lot of material from 2004 will be loaded in the next few days. SeeRed is also pretty high up the Google rankings because of its size and 'quality of text'.

However, I have little knowledge or inclination to get involved in organising who sings or dances what where and when, so maybe that side of things could become a strength of the new sidmouthfestival.org.uk site - I don't know who is behind it but the html coding is pretty slick.

Organising accommodation could be a real problem - who would take the risk of running a large campsite without public liability insurance? It is too soon to start to plan details - a few months need to elapse before we know what help if any is going to be available for 2005.

Also, someone needs to coordinate the stewards for 2005 - existing teams need to remain in contact so they can be reformed as necessary - again one central focus for this would be best.
