Subject: RE: Sparkling Sidmouth!! :0)
I outlined it much higher up. Thought you said you'd read it. As no-one has even begun to think about funding, it would obviously not be feasible till 2008 at the earliest. This, as somebody might recall, was the projected timescale of the original plans as outlined by Derek Schofield i.e. Sidmouth would be relaunched this year. Cos that's how long funding applications take, Additionally, that's how far forward many bookings need to be made. Even then, it's a massive initial outlay without knowing whether a funding application will succeed. Can't see them biting, do you? Nah, they'll just stick with CBS and a Lakeperson or two, zzzzzzzzzzzz. And I wouldn't be climbing on board anywhere without artistic freedom and enough working capital upfront - but push that madlizzie off the top of Jacob's Ladder anyway.
