Subject: RE: National English Dialect Day 16 October 2010
Bringing this back to life for 2011.
This year's event will be in Louth, Lincolnshire on Sat 22nd October hosted and organised by the East Lincolnshire Dialect Society. This will coincide with the town's Victorian Weekend so plenty to do Sunday for those that stay over. Details on "Far Weltered" website for audience, competitors and performers. Next year (2012) will be in Northumberland hosted by the Northumbrian Language Society.

A great opportunity to celebrate all our regional dialects in one annual event, last year was a great day out. We'll be looking down south for hosts for 2013 - any active Societies or committed individuals interested should get in touch.
