I was very saddened to hear of the sudden and untimely death of Pat, without whom working in the Sidmouth Festival Box-office would have been a chore, rather than the pleasure that it was under her inspired direction. I will always remember her for her hospitality and sense of fun,particularly with regards to the "Wine Club" at the Towersey Festival camp site. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her husband and daughter at this tragic time.
