The school in my local village is closing; not even with Labour in power, it seems, is there enough to keep it open. Shame, really, because it means that all the kids in the village will have to go to Pencader or Llanfihangel for their education.
In order to celebrate the century-plus of service that the present school has given (even my own hairy self has availed himself of its facilities, going to Welsh class there on a Wednesday night) the village are having a Bit of a Do on the 12 July. And apparently somebody on the committee organising the event herd that there was this strange, smelly, scruffy weirdo who frequented the pub across the road who might have something to contribute... so I was asked if it might be possible to deploy VLM.
The way it'll work, I think, is that they will have a day of events for the kiddies and grannies and such, and then later on a marquee across the road in the field for more adult entertainments. I have suggested that the appointed DJ be allowed to go home at the end of the night (granny- and kid-friendly soings not being particularly apposite VLM-fodder) and that we be then allowed to... take over
.Apparently the thing is to be advertised on local radio, and I am certain we could garner a goodly few local ravers to come. And given that Arcola didn't work out, maybe we could gather a Llamasoftie contingent too. The event takes place in a big playing field, so plenty of room for camping. There's a great pub right across the road too.
I think, with a little spreading of the word and enthusiasm, we could turn this into the best village "do" ever };-).
Thoughts? Anyone up for it? Could be a load of fun
