I'm not into the politics either - neither the time nor the energy - but what happens if the "previous organisers" are also putting on a festival on the same weekend, which is the one they have used for many years?
Does that mean there'll be 2 festivals, just a couple of miles away from each other, on the same weekend? That would be a shame, as I've always enjoyed going to them - it would mean that festival goers would need to choose....unless they went to both of course (and I haven't got the stamina for that)!
