Organisers pleased by the first ScrumpstockOrganisers of Scrumpstock the cider, music and food festival staged at Exmouth over the weekend say they were pleased with the first event, theyre here for the long haul and are planning to stage it again next year.

The three-day festival opened last Friday by Exmouths outgoing mayor Councillor Bill Nash was attended by more than 2,000 people and raised funds for Exmouth RNLI.

We did a quality event, with quality cider, qual-ity food and quality acts, and I think that shone through with people, said organ-iser Jeremy Sellick.

We had lots of good feedback from the public and the traders that were there.

In terms of attendance, the best day was the Saturday. It was a bit quiet on the Sunday [pirate day]. It wasnt quite the turn-out wed hoped for, but we only started selling tick-ets two and a half months before the event, so next year were going to start publicising it earlier.

We had a licence for 3,000, so it would have been nicer to have had m o r e p e o p l e there,

but unfortunately such is life. The weather was fantastic all weekend. We were lucky. What we were trying to do was not be weather dependent, so thats why we had a large marquee.

Were bringing something thats unique. Its not just a pitch-up and have a barbecue and a beer festival. Were trying to do something a little specialised that I think will only grow.

Plans are afoot for next years Scrumpstock on the same site.

We may have a slightly differ-ent site plan, but nothing drastic, said Sellick. Were here for the long haul. Weve got a good formula. Weve all been to festi-vals and shows where they charge you a fortune to get in, and you get a load of rubbish.

What were striving to do is have a quality event thats not going to be ridiculously expensive.
