We hope you see that reflected in this year's programme. If you don't see what you want, come and organise it yourself for next year.</p> <p>The festival is organised by a voluntary co-operative of local artists, promoters and (extra-)ordinary audience-members. We're particularly grateful to B&NES Council for their continued support of this event, and for providing core funding. We must also thank all the local businesses who sponsor events - and of course yourselves for buying tickets. </p> <p>The committee programmes about half the events in this brochure, but the Fringe would not be the Fringe without the many community arts groups who get involved each year to promote their own events under the Fringe umbrella. If you have any ideas for Fringe '99 please call our office and speak to our administrator Wendy Matthews.</p> <p>The Festival would not have been possible without: David, Ali, Felicity Bowers, Jenni Nicholson, Heather, Caron, Steve, Liz, Chris, Nick, John. </p> <p>The programme was as up-to-date as we could manage, but it is in the nature of all things to change, and of fringe things even more so. Though we believed everything in this programme was accurate at that point, we accept no responsibility for reality getting out of tune with the printed word afterwards. If you're travelling a long way to an event you don't have a ticket for it's worth checking with the venues (not the Fringe office) before you set out.
