GRAND OPENING BY
GEOFF HOLT
Geoff hit the headlines when he sailed solo
around Britain in a 15-foot trimaran -
remarkable because he is paralysed from the waist down.

He is also the fastest disabled person to sail round the Isle of
Wight and was BBC South's Sports personality of the year 2007.
Geoff will be here to inspire us all when he opens the Festival
at 12 noon on Friday 29th May - make sure you're there!
