23 October 2004: yet another Sidmouth website is born. This page will be of interest only to computer geeks!

Like its sister site, sidmouthfestival.org, the early hosting was via sidmouthcarnivals.net.
The following source coding from sidmouthfolkweek.org shows that at its inception it was no more than a newly created page 'folkweek' on the website www.sidmouthcarnival.com. Describing it as a 'one stop portal' is stretching credibility a little far - even for a politician!
