On Saturday, I went to Wadfest up at Old Town (aka known as Wadsworth) where there was a fayre and reception for a mixed age bike ride from Midgley. My role was to greet people at the finishing line.
Old Town is not part of Hebden Royd. It is a separate parish. With Heptonstall, it is one of the ancient parishes of the area, and the village predates Hebden Bridge by at least three hundred years. So I was chuffed to be invited to prance around in my chain and greet people off the bike ride, even if I had no role as such. Other than to be chain bearer.
The weather was chilly and showery, but we all had a good time and there were lots of interesting tents. My favourite was Wadsworth community bee keepers, who had a fantastic stall, including a hive they could remove the top from, to view the bees through a glass screen. They kept bees not to make honey to sell, but to increase the bee population, which has been declining nationally in recent years.
The Twinning society also had a cake and bake stall. Yum!
