“You rely on volunteers hugely. Certainly I can't run the Oyster Festival all by myself. … The same was true of Godwit Days. … But every time I put a call to the board for their participation … it was difficult to get them enlisted. … It may be my own management style. … When you're at the helm of running something … you still have to ultimately be responsible for the success of the event.”
