Mmmm, yes I read that too. I went to a couple of meetings early in the year, there were a few groups who thought they had a bit of contribution to make to the 90th anniversary of the battle of the somme. Anyway, a certain person realised that there was all this stuff going on and that the Council should be involved. So he invited us all to a meeting which had to be held at Scaitcliffe House because he doesn't like going to meetings if they're held anywhere else. At the point that I realised that the Council (he) wanted to take all the glory for all of the stuff going on I backed out.

Yes, Ossy Players are putting on the Accrington Pals on Radio Lancashire so I suppose I have got to say thank you to them for giving us a bit of publicity in the paper today but (and yes, you can call me childish) it does annoy me that they are trying to take credit for the stuff that all of these community groups were trying to do. Typical!!!!!
