"There were plenty of options to buy a wailer if nyou needed one, The Leisure centre, The Office, The Spa Pavilion all had them, if you needed them they were available with minimum effort realy." Unnamed Guest

Actually, all the locations named are very close to each other ... if you had no reason to go to the office/crafts fair/or the Pavilion (and that's a large place) then the "minimum effort" certainly wasn't minimum. As I said above, copies used to be available on sale on the door at the various venues IIRC... I didn't see any on sale at the football club/museum/Conservative club which were the venues that I was most often at ... hence the trek out of my way to the office when I could to obtain one. Options to buy only exist if you know about them ... and that's the first time that I was aware that copies could be obtained at the Pavilion .... I certainly didn't see any there. I wonder if the programme should indicate exactly where, other than the office and craft fair, they are available for purchase? (Not a complaint, by the way - just an observation).
