Well, that was a lovely piece of misdirection by the Hudds Examiner! Glad I wasn't the only one Who thought so Soldier boy. I tink Cath's right, we should let the paper know our views. It should be pointed out that a Shepley festival may or may not be a good idea, but that it would lose the character provided by Holmfirth, and apart from the campsite, would have very few facilities... proper comfortable venues, places to eat good food at reasonable prices, banking facilities, etc.
