You're right Jon and Ian, and it's something I fail to understand too. I'm glad that, as impartial observers, you believe that it won't do much harm.... I don't think it will either, and I'm convinced that we are going to have a brilliant week, though obviously different from previous Sidmouth festivals. A lot of hard work has gone and is going into producing the festival in the comparatively short time we have. It is rather upsetting that someone seems to want to disrupt it and prevent those of us who love Sidmouth Festival from making sure it continues. However, there always was a handful of locals who disliked the festival and would be glad to get rid of it, one of whom used to be very vociferous against it in the local press. I can only assume that it's this group who are taking what they see as an opportunity of preventing the festival from continuing. And thank you Gadaffi for that succinct clarification of the current situation Love Lynne
