Blackshaw Head Fete: Flying the flag.
CROWS set up a display tent at this popular and well organised local Fete.
It was a most enjoyable day as we were able to speak to many people who not only shared concerns about rights-of-way, but also were very complimentary about the quality of the work we do.
A number of individual donations were received and we would like to thank the donors - your generosity in these financially difficult times is very much appreciated.
Here are a few pictures taken near the CROWS tent:
 |
| 1. How many CROWS does it take to erect a gazebo? Unfortunately there is no prize for the correct answer! |
 |
| 2. Information leaflets, displays of work in the Upper Calder Valley and, in particular, around Blackshaw Head. |
 |
| 3. General display items and 17 different types of route markers - no wonder we get confused! |
 |
| 4. Approval? It's official? From l to r: two members of CROWS; Linda Patterson (Chair of Blackshaw Parish Council) and Chris Green (who was CROWS' landlord when we were based at 'White Ribbon' in Mytholmroyd). |

| 5. The long and the short of it? |
The weather was ideal. Some cloud cover with a warm breeze but no sign of the rain (with chance of thunder) that had been forecast earlier in the week. There was a large affable crowd and the event had a significant 'feel-good' factor. CROWS felt privileged to have made a contribution, albeit small, to this.
Flying the flag? . . . Here it is!
More next week . . . when we might be wetter!
