during the following months. vo Zoom. We tslked through optK)ns and solu￿n$ to the new and vaned
challenges we fac8d.
We knew that June 2021 would not b8 happenirvJ and $0 discusslons took place about bringing a'mini Fe8tlV81'
to Devvzes in November 2021 to keep the arts alNe and give us all something to look forward to.
So- here go again.
We are very hopeful Ihat November 2021 wrll go ahead although may have restricted numbers in the venues
