20 years.

I understand that 2010 will mark the 20th anniversary of Street Market and to mark the event there may be a return of the major open air gigs that used to round off the event. One of the major problems with these events was that it was never clear until the event was ubder way whether there would be enough money available to cover necessities such as lighting and stage erection. This problem was a major cause of stress to the organisers and one of the solutions that has been put to me is that refundable subscriptions of something like ten pounds could be sold in advance to cover running costs.

Perhaps its an idea worth thinking about.
