This is only our second attempt to express our views on mudcat. We were rather put off when our first attempt earned us some negative abuse from Mr. Hughes and his supporters. All we wish to say now is that we will continue to follow with interest the various debates on Sidmouth's future but remain to be convinced that Mr. Hughes will be able to organise anything like as good a festival as we have enjoyed in the past. On a brighter note we thank John Golightly for letting us know of new threads as it was taking us an age to view the 51st Sidmouth festival thread so long had it become.
