Thread Name: Sidmouth - was it good for you?
Subject: RE: Sidmouth - was it good for you?
Now now people - all of this bitching is loosing the point of the thread!!! Sidmouth = was it good for you?

I had a fantastic time!! It's my sixth Sidmouth, so I'm new to it compared to a lot of you. All festivals have their good points and their bad points - so what!!! As long as a good time (in the main) was had, then surely, it must have been good!!!

I was Stewarding for the first time this year - and I loved every minute of it!! I was in the Pavillion/Arts Centre - great team - look forward to doing it in the future.

Went to some great concerts - Show of Hands, Spookey Men, Eliza an The Rat Catchers, Altan to name but a few - superb!!

Good variety of beer in the various pubs. Good selection of food for "on the move". My B&B was good, situated between town and campsite - so car was left in Rugby club during the day acting as a wardrobe, taken to digs at teatime, then bus to Bulverton in the evening.

Spent a fair amount of time drumming for Herbascious Border. Did a few sessions - what more could you ask for!!!

THEN - left Sidmouth at 11.45pm on the Friday and drove to Broadstairs for a workshop on the Saturday morning for another week of it!!

For me, Sidmouth is one of the jewels of the season. I'll be back year after year!   Hope this gets the thread back onto a positive note??!!!!

Hope to bump into some of you in Faversham and, certainly, Knockholt!!

Happy Folking pepes :-)
