Another Night Out!

I've hardly been at home this week!
Last night it was the Blue Boar for a Plan B meeting - in fact, there were two Plan B meetings going on at the same time, one getting a bit technical about designing a website to tell the world what's happening in Hay, and one sorting out over 3,000 survey forms to deliver around town and the outlying areas shortly.
The real excitement, though, was earlier in the day, when a man from the Telegraph came to town with a photographer (and his glamorous assistant), and spent most of the day talking to people like Jason on the market, and Stuart the greengrocer, and Alex Valentine at the Wholefood shop. Gareth from Plan B took him round and showed him the school sites, and he had already talked to Gareth Ratcliffe and Leon Morelli the night before. They said that the article would probably be in the paper on Saturday.

Just as a little tangent at the end of the meeting at the Blue Boar, Rhona mentioned the scheme to build a statue to Richard Booth, which was discussed at the last Town Council meeting. Apparently, Richard didn't keep the little triangle of land just outside the Castle for himself - it was all sold together, but Elizabeth is happy to provide space for a statue outside the Castle. The plan is to have Richard enthroned on a pile of books, and a competition is planned, to choose 100 book titles to be engraved on the books Richard will be sitting on.
