Drama Festival called off!!!
 

Well, I'm sad to say that the drama festival that I had planned for February is being cancelled. I needed six nights of shows/plays to make it work and I could only fill four.

I'm not going to give up though - I'll try and reschedule for later in the year and see if I have better luck.

Which does now leave me with an interesting quandry. I've provisionally booked Ossy Town Hall for the week - of course, I could cancel it and there wouldn't be any issue but the alternative is that I keep a couple of the days and put something else on that doesnt' need quite as much involvement.

So ideas would be welcome

Tea dance one afternoon
Chocolate fair
Cheese market
Bring and buy sale


Any other suggestions?

Oooooh Bring & Buy type thingy please cos we've got oodles of junk, er good quality items, to get rid of.:)

Hmm, except for the cheese mainly girly attractions, (no rindy before you start this is not a get at gayle day, again!).

However, the only thing that i can think of would be a beery thing to go well with a good sampling of that cheese, MMMMM, Beer and cheesy moments what more can a man ask?

Well, I am a girly so it's not surprising I have girly ideas - that's why I asked for alternatives.

Plus, I thought 'Get at Gayle Day' was the new name for Thursday's. lol

Any day with a 'Y' in it.

Even God got a day off on Sunday!

Please don't bring the rib thief into the equation, I for one haven't forgiven him (yes, him), for that little escapade.

Beer fests, wine and cheese, why not something for the kids?

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

doesnt sound like a safe place for the kids to be honest.....cheesy drunkards? lol

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

just the kids

And thats just the kids.:eek:

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

Actually something for very young people might not be a bad idea. I'll think about that some more.

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

What about a photographic exhibition “Accrington - what it means to me” Three categories which could include Past, Present and New, this last category could be one about bringing in ideas from other areas where conservation, restoration, redevelopment or other change has work for the better.

In the other half of the hall you could have a period food festival with a seasonal theme to it will plenty of mulled ale for the men folk and a drop of wine for the ladies.

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

That sounds good - what could we call it?

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

I’m assuming that you’re refering to the seasonal food festival:

“Accrington winter food festival” – There must be some old seasonal offerings in the archive.

“Victorian Seasonal Market” – Christmas has we know it doesn’t go much further back.

“Hyndburn Winter Festival” - this maybe more comfortable for our none christen communities.

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

It's in February so Christmas will have long gone by then.

Oswaldtwistle Winter Festival might be a good one!

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

Maybe I should read the thread first, don’t you think….:rolleyes: I did read the thread this morning and hadn’t noted when this was due to take place, so my apologies for that and again for not taking into account that it’s in Oswaldtwistle. The Oswaldtwistle Winter Festival sounds good. What going to be in it? :)

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

I think you must be having another senior moment Doug, lol. I was following up your suggestion about what to include in it!

Re: Drama Festival called off!!!
 

:) I am certain that you will have many of your own over the years to come….:rolleyes:

I think Period Dress, Games, food, and a photographic exhibition of say the last 150 years of Oswaldtwistle Life………It might be fun to select three or four periods so that people can chose the period that they like and admire. :)
