Subject: RE: National English Dialect Day 16 October 2010
Yes everyone, This is the event that we started last year with support from Fylde Festival, but we had some complaints from our nation's farmers who are harvesting in September and couldn't get there! So this year we've moved it out with a view to establishing it as a separate day so that in future years it can travel the country organised in a different area each time. The local council, Chorley Arts, are supporting us in Euxton this year.(pronounced EXTON by the way.)

And yes Greg I am, although it's only 30 years since "Beggar Boy of the North" isn't it?
