Is the Green Fair fair?

Save the world and have fun - all in one day - you say? How much does it cost - in cash terms - to get in?
Also, sometimes, in my calendar, one day is 24 hours long. This 11am - 5pm business is a bit of a short change on that, surely.?
In Sheffield there COULD be scope for a politically based - "Green (Fair?) Week-end". It has to be considered.

A few years back my girlfriend and I went to the DRAGON FAYRE up near Stocksbridge. It was rather good. Does anyone know why its not still going? I remember seeing John Otway and the show (with JCB Dragon) and ELFIN doing the music was brilliant. Alas no photos remain of this event so if anyone has any or can tell me if its still going on elsewhere I'd appreciate it.

Well Bam, bam.
I think the Dragon Fayre organisers were like, poor people an stuff..............an the whole event just got like....................rained off, or something.
I remember Otway and Elfin.......and the Dragons too!
I have a few naff pics - bit dark - of some of the dragon show.........and I also know someone who has got that spoon that Otway bent as part of his act - (ME!!).
I suppose it'll be up for auction on E-bay any day now.

Anyway, back to the Green Fair. Any news?
