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.
