At least two businesses that had paid deposits to the organisers of WOWFest have told VentnorBlog that the deposits they paid haven’t been paid back.
Arthur who runs a fairground contacted VB asking if we had any way of getting in touch with the WOWFest organisers, Phil and Geri. The phone numbers he had weren’t being answered. He told us that he had put an £1,800 deposit down.
A second company
VB also spoke to Barry who has been running the food stall, Goodness Gracious, at festivals for 25 years. He told us that he’d put a £600 deposit down and not been able to get a response from Phil and Geri even going to the length of visiting addresses on the Island that he had been told they had lived.
Barry said he’d rung up the Police about it and “considered it a crime”.
History
