yes,it became more successful,after EFDSSran it for 33 years,
steve heap ran it for 18 years.
one has to ask the question why did it nearly sink the society and why did it nearly sink Steve Heap.
were good business practises used?
or was expenditure not kept down sufficiently, or was too much taken out?
I am not saying that this was the reason, I am asking a question?
when EFDSS ran it, was too much taken out to support the society?, however 33 years running a festival such as Sidmouth is a major achievement, and the EFDSS, have to be congratulated on that achievement
