St Giles Fair

The St Giles Fair is now in full swing and continues until tomorrow (Tuesday) It would be great to see some photos of it on Oxford Indymedia. If anyone has the camera equipment and time, I'd be happy to accompany them so we could take a few photos and interview a people so as to get their views and experiences on the event. Please email me if you want to do this tomorrow afternoon/evening.
Cheers, Ian

I assumed that most people in Oxford would know what St Giles Fair is, and that energies would be better spent getting the views of people attending. But basically, it's a funfair which has been held at the start of September in St Giles since the 1600's. St Giles day is September 1st, so it used to a part of the celebrations of the people in St Giles parish. Now in our secular society, it's essentially changed into family fun and something to take the sting out of kids returning to school.
(by the way, Indymedia works by everyone and anyone contributing. The info above took me about 5 mins to find off the internet and write up. Next time you see a story that you think would benefit from some additional info, just go ahead and post it if you feel you're able to. Otherwise, thanks for the feedback.)
