I am asking for help from one – or maybe a couple – of your readers, to manage the collections during Sidmouth Folk Week.

This is an important role for the event, which like many other large outdoor events relies on voluntary support for many of its activities. I have been doing this for the last five years, but I should like a little more free time so that our grandchildren can join us in early August in future years and see what this long-standing event is all about.

If there is anyone who is interested, please ring me on 01395 512416 for further details, and hopefully you would be able to assist me in early August to see what the role involves.

John Dyson, Sidmouth
