According to the saw doctors' web site www.sawdoctors.com the Handley Village Festival has been cancelled due to licencing difficulties. Although it would have been within walking distance (and earshot) of my home, and I was quite looking forward to it, the idea of 2500 vehicles trying to get down those narrow twisty lanes always did seem pretty silly, not to mention the major landscaping and roadworks that have gone on without planning permission. It s a great shame that people planning these events don't talk to the locals first, rather than launching in with both feet and getting everyone's back up. John
