BUT.....   this year's Local Food Festival at Lansdown School, Stockwood, won't be happening after all.  
It's all down to other unexpected demands on some of the key organisers, making it impossible to give this one the attention it deserves, and to the near total failure of the apple crop in the Open Space orchard - the 'local food' that featured so successfully in last year's event.

Meanwhile, work has been resumed to keep the orchard in condition for next year.   See the Friends of Stockwood Open Spaces pages for more
