In reply to Rob Hopcott's letter to Festival is great for the community' (Echo, May 8), it should be indicated that Wessex Folk Festival (June 6-8) is not supported solely by fundraising. The generosity of its 2008 sponsors should also be mentioned.
Of these, the two major sponsors are Dave and Judith of the Kings Arms/Chatsworth and Austin Wainwright of the Excise House in Hope Square.
In addition to this, financial contributions have been received from Roger Dalton of Brewers Quay, along with pledges from the Red Lion, the Galley Bistro and the Crows Nest. Sincere thanks from the organising team.
Paul J Openshaw Egdon Close, Bere Regis.
