It went really well.
It didn't pour with rain like last year, the temperature wasn't -6C like the previous year, and the Sun even came out on Sunday for the burning of the bear.

As for my part in the proceedings, I'm pleased to report that Pig Dyke turned in a good show despite rather variable standard of dancing at practices prior to the event.

Wheatman may have other things on his mind right now - I think it's no secret that he was expecting to become a grandfather yesterday...

I don't think this year's late timing for Straw Bear is intended to be a permanent thing.

There's lots of videos on YouTube.
