The money being requested is only a guarantee.

I don't feel that the figures are that gastronominc in putting on a festival of this size....you just need to ask about costs of running festivals like Glastonbury, why do they have doubts periodically about that one....wet weather costs!

If we could guarantee the weather to be fine for the duration of the festival year in and year out it wouldn't be an issue would it?

As for profiteering....me thinks there is a lot of jealousy out there. We all have a right to earn ourselves a living. Steve Heap has choosen this route and we have all supported that over the years one way or another.
