Funny you should mention that. As you know Ken Still is a man of few complaint words. He has been compeld to write the following;
Dear Sir
Featherstone Gala Demolition
I would like to thank the Labour Councillors over the past five years, for telling me barefaced lies over the gala. Over the past five years, I have been asking why Featherstone could not have floats at its gala, I was told on numerous occasions, that it was insurance (they could not get it or they did not want to get it). I asked why the surrounding districts of Knottingley, Sherburn, Normanton, Rothwell and others in Leeds did have floats. Over the years our gala has got worse and worse.
This week we made one phone call, and go the insurance for approximately £350 for up to eight or ten floats, (it took about thirty minutes to do this), you might feel it is early for our 2010 gala, but if you want the best you have work at it.
So may I take this opportunity to ask, if you can decorate or get us the transport, get in touch with me.
Come on Featherstone let us have the best and biggest gala the same as we used to have.

Ken Still and Featherstone Mayor Roy Bickerton have spent time this week asking companies to provide trailers for the 2010 Gala. So far 6 full size trailers have been sourced and more are possible. Any community group, street residents group, any organisation can ask to have a trailer for next years Gala.
I am sure the full story will also reveal its self.
