Mike of Northumbria - Well, there is an organisation called the Friends of Sidmouth. Who were supposed to have provided someone to collect money, in an official collecting tin, at the events in the garden of the Volunteer, including the one I ran on the Monday evening last year that you attended and sang at. An interesting question is, what are the Friends of Sidmouth doing to ensure the continuing viability of the festival and how could they be helped to do more.
