Thread Name: Improvements to Rochester Sweeps Fest?
Subject: RE: Improvements to Rochester Sweeps Fest?
Don't put acts so far afield as Strood. They should all be in Rochester. Ron Trueman Border and his support act which included Clive Lever were stuck in Strood. Not fair!

Council needs to put the programme up earlier in year, though this year was better than in past. And the mini blurb on each act is a definite yes. Chris' daughter and friend were complaining about the lack of that very thing.

Am I wrong or were there fewer sides this year than in past? It seems there was a lot more space between them up and down the high street this year. What happened? Recession? Fear of night time yob culture?

Council could make some money on selling little observer books of Morris. I will give my ideas free of charge if it will help make Sweeps more attractive, enjoyable to sides and public and feasible for council.
