As Tealeaf has managed to hijack two totally unrelated threads with his yearly Mela rant I've decided to open a thread especially for him. I wasn't going to bring the subject up but here we are again.

This years Mela and Community Festival is being held on Sunday August 6th, at Oakhill Park, Accrington.

It runs from 12noon to 7pm.

From 12noon to 1pm there will be a cheesy disco and the GLAM SLAM dancers who will be playing all those tacky songs that we love to dance to - Macarana, Birdy Song, Achy Breaky Heart, YMCA etc. This hour is specially for our younger audience who enjoy doing the dance steps for these songs.

From 1pm - 7pm there is live music on the main stage featuring a range of different types of music - something for everyone. Either sit back and watch or get up and dance.

There are also arts and crafts, street entertainers, a large inflatable assault course, community groups and great cuisine.
