Read it all and I am confused as to what kind of festival do people want next year. The old (eg 2004) Sidmouth or the newer 2005 style. This is not a trawl for argument just genuine interest.

Sidmouth 2005 sounds better (From the reviews in this thread) than the Sidmouth I went to in the late 1990's. So how will this format be maintained without restricting growth. Also the atmosphere seemed to be reported as better this year and that is something that cannot be organised.
