No Claytonender, but his secretary does and at 11.30 am there was nothing in his in box. it could be delay on the server, but I have a copy of you post of 10. 58 yesterday.

I thought that HBC are not putting any money into Mid Penine this year. We can hardly expect something from them if we don't put anything in.

Maybe Gayle would like to remind us how much HBC put into Mid Penine and how much Mid Penine brought into Hyndburn.

To me people who like art should fund it, or at best done try to push it down every ones neck on a basis of like it or lump it.

What is Art?

Art is undefinable.

It's conceptual.

Perhaps Immanuel Cricket Club, which was recently awarded tax payer's money from a committee headed by Peter Britcliffe, could claim to be a collective of performance artists and try and secure funding from the Arts Council of Great Britain instead, the next time they need funding?

Thats true rindy, we've debated that down here for months and got no where, which is why I say what right has one person got to say no, just because he didn't like the schemes that were suggested.

See you do have your uses.

What is it they say about keeping a dog and barking one's self?

Someone said the anti-war graffiti has been up there since the seventies. It must be bloody good paint! Where can I buy some?

What war is it refering to, Vietnam?

To me it looks more recent and refers to the war in Iraq.

It wasn't there the last time I was up there about six years ago.

Madhatter · 06-07-2006, 23:27

six years is still a long time for nothing to have been done about it. perhaps something to say what it's for would help to, I'm guessing that they see that as some sort of war memorial to paint that on it.

If you had taken me up on my offer of giving you a lift to that meeting you would have heard that debate 1st hand. One gentlemen was very opposed to the money going to the cricket club. Peter put it to a vote of all those present at the meeting. The vote was yes ( my a large majority ) and they got the money.

Thats strange because he is in Bournemouth all week. His Secretary is Linda. How do you know what's in his inbox? I know he can collect his mail online but I am not sure he knows how.

Nice to see you back anyway Mr Farrer. All this anti-art stuff, you'll be burning books outside Scaitclife House next. Whatever happenned to freedom of expression then??

Neil · 06-07-2006, 23:38

Please you lot try and keep on topic, it is a good and sensible suggestion that something needs to be done about. If you must have a political debate please take it somewhere else.

Graham, is the coppice not part of your friends group?

S H U T- U P ! ! !

I was going to go but was having a ****ty day.

Happily my absence still allows me to put forward my point of view, does it not?

It's like saying we can't discuss national politics unless we were present in the public gallery at Westminster.

What time are you picking me up for the next one?

Your lovely lady wife has told me to tell you I have to go straight back home afterwards. Sorry no country runs.

garinda · 06-07-2006, 23:41

P.S. I was aware that it was put to a public vote and didn't say otherwise.

What is Politics?

Politics like Art is undefinable.

Both can be viewed conceptually.

See back on track.

Madhatter · 06-07-2006, 23:54

true, but party politics has no place at this level. This is about you and things that will effect your lives. Whether funding is given or a project is given the go ahead shouldn't be affected by people playing party politics at a local level.
