Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Music Festival
Just a note to clarify the festival dates. It's always the third week in July unless the fifth Saturday falls on the second Tuersday in October when it does, of course, revert to the Monday after Candlemass. It's all clearly set out in Appendix A(2)(c) of the 1821 Festivals (Moveable) Folk & Other Strange Events Order, which was later incorporated into the Cartwheel Rim Width Act 1901.

Careful reading and very liberal translation of these papers proves that references to Christmas are, in fact, perfectly justified and, in fact, more or less demanded by law. See REGINA -v- ORIFICE. L.T. (1954) QBD 73.
