ANOTHER Swindon Festival of Literature comes to an end with supporters of the festival keenly awaiting Matt Holland's line up for next year.

I think it will be difficult for him to better this, the ninth festival, but I am sure he and his team will be keen to ensure the standard of contributor remains as high as ever.

For my part I congratulate Matt for his vision and all his efforts.

In particular he served up a menu of veritable delights, with the emphasis on diversity to suit all tastes.

The Swindon festival proves the point that an eclectic mix of speakers and contributors will provide a rich source of entertainment, enlightenment and enjoyment to an ever interested audience.

Well done everyone.
