Attendance
Looking at a single figure is misleading. After reviewing the figures the event attracted around 860-880 people. (allow for errors in reporting and youth circus visitors who paid a lump sum) Of that number 121 did not pay to come in, (performers etc) 29 were traders, 186 paid on the door and 524 paid in advance, (a mixture of week/weekend and day tickets)

The weather was very windy, many tents were destroyed and some people had to sleep indoors.
Catering was provided by the school canteen in the main atrium, and Veggies and Love Waffles in the courtyard next to the main atrium. Monte was not able to cater due to last minute paperwork issues (that were not his fault).
The event ran its own bar.
