Thread Name: 50th and last Sidmouth festival?
Subject: RE: 50th and last Sidmouth festival?
Imagine LNE in the Drill Hall now!

Thinking about it last night and looking at some of the replies on this thread: -

EFDSS got in to tropuble with a small festival - probably too big an overhead per ticket sale.

Mrs Caseys have driven that down by increasing the size of the festival etc. etc. etc. - like it or lump it that is a very likely scenario - It is good business.

ergo (latin)

Sidmouth should not be there at all!

Or (Not latin)

A wet weather provision (financial fund) needs to be established to ensure the survival of it!

BTW having been involved in small one day festivals - even financially supporting events before too the organisation of a week bears little or no comparison wiht the shorter events!

Finally

Think about - if your dirty and wet and probably cold for two days - what the h*ll! But if it lasts 7 Days or more what a *****!

We've got to get away form the - who is managing and wqhat are they doing and appreciate the nature of the problem more.
