Re: would you like to see more community focussed events in accrington

I didn't attend the Switch on of the lights because I don't like fireworks and I'm a bit long in the tooth to be shakin my substantial booty to tunes belted out by a pop singer I have never heard of.

I might attend a Victorian Event as I think they have character and style(the one in Llandudno is brilliant), and they fit in with a christmassy theme....especially if there was input from local schools, Nothing brings a lump to the throat like a group of six year olds singing 'Little Donkey'........and the older children from secondary schools could be charged with writing a christmas song of their own.

I used to attend the Antique and collectors fairs that were held in the Town Hall......very much my thing, craft fairs and the like are interesting too
I haven't voted because like Garinda, I would be quite discerning about the type of event I attended.
