Remember, Remember, The 9th, Or 10th, Of November

Good afternoon Beckworth. I hope this message finds you well… This is a quick reminder that Beckworths’ famed Guy Fawkes night will be happening very soon, weather permitting. We are still debating whether this will be Saturday or at a push Sunday, but we promise tol keep you posted. We have a modest budget (that we’ve taken from funding young mothers’ yoga) to spend on a few fireworks and we’re promised a candle-lit choir, vegan food stalls and an effigy of Guy Fawkes lovingly made by prisoners on day release. Prof Brian Cox says he hopes to tell the story of the gunpowder plot if we pay him and for the under-5s once again the local Peppa Pig tribute band, Salty Boar, will be playing on a small open-air stage (some quickly tied-together crates).Thanking you most warmly. Aashif Ackworth. Mayor. Beckworth Town Council
