The last weekend in November is going to be a busy one in the centre of Hay.
On Friday 23rd, at 7.30pm, Josie Pearson (Hay's newest celebrity) will be turning on the Christmas lights, with carols from the Hay Community Choir and Clifford, Clyro, Hay, Llanigon and Rhosgoch schools. There will also be stalls and mulled wine, mince pies and soft drinks - and there's a possibility that Father Christmas will visit! If he can't make it there will be a post box for letters to Santa.
The next day is the Food Fair in the square, so there should be lots of goodies on offer to stock up on Christmas treats. I usually get some good presents there.
On the Sunday, Hay Goes Vintage, with antiques and clothing on sale. I'll be at work, but I was thinking of dressing up in something pseudo-Victorian, possibly with a bustle!
And on Sunday evening there is a marathon musical session at Booth's, starting with a film about the Russian cellist Rostropovich at 5pm, followed by a question and answer session, a light supper, and then a recital at 8pm by Moray Welsh, who was one of Rostropovich's students.

"This is becoming something of a regular feature of town council meetings - they ask for information, or object to something, or remind the County Council that something is supposed to happen, and there's a deathly silence from the County Council. In this case it was the planning application for the O2 phone mast, which the town council objected to "in the strongest possible terms". This meant that it had to go to the planning committee for discussion - where only Gareth Ratcliffe opposed the application, and the concerns of the town council were ignored. "
The planning authority in Hay is the BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK Not Powys County Council as implied
Thanks - you're quite right. I'm sorry for the confusion. But it does seem that both the County Council and the National Park feel free to ignore whatever the Town Councils say to them, speaking as an observer at several meetings now where councillors have got frustrated with the other authorities on several different issues.
