Hi All, It's only 3 days and counting until we go to Sidmouth!!! I'm so excited :) So, some final details... *Getting there:* Martin has sent around the info for getting the Sidmouth Bus add-on which will be cheaper than buying regular bus tickets and the map for where to get off to make your walk as short as possible, so I won't repeat :) There isn't a party on the Friday - that was Thrales getting confused with their first spot... the party is on the Saturday and there will be bubbly :) *When you arrive:* Our tickets will be at the campsite (Bulverton Campsite) - in theory you can only collect your own ticket and camping pass. You'll also be able to buy a discounted festival bus pass - which I would probably suggest doing. Becky I think is going to get there first, so hopefully she'll find somewhere we can all camp with our beautiful Ravens banner/flag. I haven't found what happens to the uncollected tickets, but I think in previous years they end up down at the Artists Reception on Saturday- Sidmouth C of E Primary School (where we go to fetch the collecting tins - see below.) *Itinerary* I've put the attached together which should let you know exactly where we are each day and what time you need to be there. I have in mind pubs that we are likely to do for each of the crawls, though this might change... I have also noted pubs that we can fit in between spots, and I think on a couple of the days where we finish early, I've identified some that we can do post dancing, to help make sure that we definitely get every pub-type place in (two of them are a bit more difficult than the rest to squeeze in). *Food* Please do eat, I've made a list of all the places at the end of this email I could think of off the top of head where we can get lunches/dinners. Not claiming that this is exhaustive mind. Breakfast-wise, there are usually a couple of vans on the campsite, otherwise, cafes in town if you need a fry-up or the usual suspect kind of places. There is a Lidl probably a 10-15 min walk away from the campsite, so that could always stock you up if you want to have anything in the tent. Otherwise, buy in town and bring up with you. *What to bring* Obviously your kit, including all the spare tights, socks and t-shirts that you will need. If you have one of the lovely t-shirts that Laura sorted bring that and I'd bring your hoody as well as it can feel chilly at night. Probably a good idea to bring some sun cream and something for wet weather (you never know!). Otherwise, just whatever you normally take for a week of festival camping! Maybe some shoes that are more comfortable that rapper shoes? *Other stuff* When not dancing in the set, if you can help with trying to collect money - we'll have official folk week collecting tins and buckets (hopefully more tins than buckets!), would be good to collect a respectable amount. There is a prize for the team that collects the most... though whether we have the energy for that I don't know, I'd rather we were enjoying ourselves than slogging away at that. We'll be collecting these each day from the Primary school. Otherwise, not the things Becky mentioned about valuables, drinking and the like. If there is anything else that you would like to know, or that I've forgotten to mention here, please shout! Most importantly - let's have an awesome time, because we are awesome!! (You really can't tell that I'm excited can you?!) Hannah :) Potential eating places - Cricket Club – dinner, probably has food during lunch as well - The Hub – food pretty much all day, usually a fair variety, including pies and crepes - White Horse – Fish and Chip Shop - Black Horse – pub (good value dinner) - Tasty baguette -unsurprisingly does sandwiches and things, but also delicious salad boxes - The filling station – lunch only, sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes etc. - Various Bakeries (not open on Sundays). - Martin has found some good pasties in the butcher shops, I can’t comment, but he has seemed to enjoy them. - Co-op / Tesco – also handy for booze… (there is a cider shop in town as well…) - Sailing Club – does inexpensive sandwiches - I think the pubs will all also be likely to serve various things
