"I highly doubt any of the particpants are planning an excursion to any place where the locals would be upset by the proceedings."

So it's okay, as long as no black people see it? Maybe Padstow ought to put up signs round the village warning anyone of non-white British origin not to visit, just in case. "Stay away on Darkie Day" - that has a catchy ring.
