Earlier this week, there was an article in the Daily Express about Mary Portas and supermarkets that mentions Hay.
Meanwhile, the B&R is full of Hay news - there's the latest news from Mali, and the fundraising efforts in Hay to help; also, Hay Festival is 25 this year, and they will be having a sound stage in the Castle grounds.
While I'm thinking about the Festival - the brochure is out today! It's the biggest one yet - I think the days of treating the programme as a disposable brochure are over. This one is almost the size of a paperback! It's packed with all sorts of things, of course - I spent some time this afternoon going through it to identify topics that I can use for a Festival book display, and noticed that one of the local authors featured is Adele Nozedar, who used to own Nepal Bazaar, with her Hedgerow Handbook! Phil Rickman is back again, and Cat Weatherill the story teller will be performing.
Interestingly from a local point of view, both Mary Portas and the former CEO of Tesco, Terry Leahy, will be speaking - Terry Leahy has a book out called Management in Ten Words.
