If you don't want to pay the money then join the fringe. I go to Sidmouth each year and don't spend much - I'm too busy singing and playing. I did buy a tee shirt, the Silver Jubilee year - I try to sing at the Anchor but it is usually too smoky - I go to the Pavillion cafe bar and Woodlands hotel. I hope to be there all week next year, with my drum at Herbaceous Border and Motley Morris if it happens. There is more to Sidmouth than the 'staged' events - and I am sure they can be very good and well organised but I am too busy to attend them. I'm just not an audience person. Anne
