And October was seen out by Halloween as usual, but the Crier (being a bit late again) has a very sorry tale to tell about this. Concerning the disgraceful and anti-social behaviour of trick-andtreating Prior youth in fact. Read on...
It seems that certain Prior residents, having amply prepared themselves in advance with huge bowls of treats, handy trick-blasting water-soakers and all the other incumbent gear, were NOT VISITED AT ALL! This had better not happen again next year. Meanwhile you can read about the murky origins of that other Autumnal celebration, Guy Fawkes night (Remember, Remember) in this issue, while gratefully reflecting that that sort of would never happen nowadays, of course...
The eagle-eyed will spot another picture of the elusive newspaper shed (last month's cover) in our PC report this month. This is because some dozy Priorites are (allegedly) still asking: "yes, but where is it?" Just down the track opposite the seats in the Town Close playground, that's where, and bundles of newspapers left there are used for horses bedding, all proceeds going to the Village Hall. Can't be bad..
Don't forget, Advent by Candlelight (topic: the real St Nicolas) - get volunteering now if you'd like to read, St Cyriac's Friends meeting (will there be more free wine?), t h e VILLAGE VARIETY, and of course, the Christmas fairs and markets coming up. Copy date for December is going to be STRICTLY the FOURTEENTH OF NOVEMBER!! So there! This is because New Year copy-date is December 10, and current tardiness means we will otherwise be in grave danger of getting lapped.
