Probably shouldn't have funded it using the Tesco credit card...

Still a shame though, used to like it when I worked the bars there.

They'll just reboot it in two years under the name Standon Deliver.

This will probably be an occuring theme. It seems like pretty much every small town tries to have their own festival these days, they can't be sustainable.
