"We've kept our increased capacity again this year which is a sure sign that the people of Congleton really enjoy this annual day out. No-one should be disappointed at not getting in but don't leave it too late to get your tickets, the popularity speaks for itself".
The Red Barrows at Congleton Carnival
Gentlemen
The gratitude of every home in Congleton, in Cheshire, and indeed throughout the this Sceptred Isle, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to those plucky chaps who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the Congleton Carnival by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the Hankinson's field of generally titting around was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the barrow pilots, whose brilliant actions and ground level displays we see with our own eyes day after day (but mostly on Saturday 10th July); but we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our barrow bomber squadrons travel far to National Sporting Weekend in Lancaster (3rd September), find the toilets in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aim their attacks, often under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss of dignity, with deliberate careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon squadrons from Round Table Areas other than 22. On no part of the Round Table Air Force does the weight of the war fall more heavily than on the daylight bombers, who will play an invaluable part in the case of invasion and whose unflinching zeal it has been necessary in the meanwhile on numerous occasions to restrain.
Fly Fishing
If you have ever fancied yourself as a J. R. Hartley, then fly fishing has been organised as an enjoyable and relaxing antidote to the rush and mayhem that was the beer festival.
Everyone fishing needs to buy an environment agency rod licence (and bring the receipt with you) for £3.50 in advance from their web site http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/recreation/fishing/default.aspx
National Sporting Weekend in Lancaster
Planning is well underway for NSW2010 - nicknamed 'The Lancaster Bomber' after the WWII bomber, and also after a fine local beer.
NSW2010 will be hosted at the university campus of St. Martins, in Lancaster, on the weekend of 3-5 September 2010.
Have a good look around their website (http://nsw2010.co.uk/), and check back regularly for updates.
