Just got back, can't believe it!!! So sorry Mark, all the best for the appeal!!

Common sense needs to win through here, this festival sounds so nice and can only be good for the community!!!

[Guest Flip]

Can't they just look at what Solfest is doing!!??

Last year there was about 30 of us, we all went up a day early, stayed in local accomodation/campsite, we all ate at the local pubs, bought supplies and breakfast in the local town and then all went in a peaceful way to the festival...had a lovely time, left, filled up and bought snacks locally before going home.... we now love the area Solfest happens and pop back when going that way to pubs/camp sites etc...
