Latest from the B&R

Lots of stories about Hay and area this week, starting on the front page with "Jazz is Back". Brecon Jazz, under the leadership of Peter Florence for the first time, seems to have been a great success.

So was the Steam Rally on Sunday, with around 4,000 people attending, and traction engines and vintage cars seen around the streets of Hay.

Eddie Izzard has been running through the Brecon area, on a fund raising mission for Sport Relief, waving a little Welsh flag.

The old steam engine at Erwood Craft Centre, which was once Erwood Railway Station, is about to be renovated.

And - could Cusop Hill, overlooking Hay, become a windfarm? Conservative Assembly Member Nick Bourne thinks it might be, and doesn't like the idea.

Meanwhile Lib Dem MP Roger Williams held a Big Ideas talk at the Globe on Thursday, with a talk about how big ideas affect people's lives, followed by a question and answer session.

So lots going on.

Yes, but what about the signboard wars? One of the most entertaining and amusing subjects featured!

I'm afraid 'Signboard Wars' hasn't made it to the august pages of our local newspaper, and all seems to have gone quiet since the name of the perpetrator was revealed.
