Call for support as all set for a bumper gala (From Keighley News)

They say that Oakworth Gala falls on the same day as Keighley Gala. If this is true then that is pure bad planning by someone.

Kevin Costner:
I’m given to understand that Cllr Lockley was well and truly stuffed this evening in Keighley’s Star Chambers as the old brigand tried to make him look him silly. What they didn’t realise was that they showed themselves for what they really are!
The reports that I’ve received have proved to me what nasty people in the Keighley Town Council can do to destroy the credibility that the few are fighting for. Cllr Lockley didn’t stand a chance, as interruptions from Cllr Wright and Mitchell silenced him. Even the Town Clerk backed off. Cllr Samuels had to ask twice for permission from Cllr Mitchell if he could continue to talk but was seemingly overruled by Cllr Wright. That was not the end of the peevish behaviour, as the spitting and jeers continued by the High Command.
I must be in Chambers next month, it seems fun. Bring your friends as Bradford Council doesn’t seen to want to engage whatsoever with us hillbilly’s, or is it sillybilly’s?
As for the fact that Oakworth has picked the same day for its Gala, are you suggesting that the date has been picked to upset the Keighley Gala Committee and Cllr Hudson, no the good people in Oakworth would never do something like that, surely not, but then again I can think of one or two people in the area who would!
In a letter in the Keighley News Mr Speller, not a friend of Cllr Mitchell, made comment: Now I’m not sure if somebody is being kind or unkind to Cllr Mitchell, please let me know.

Oh dear, Cllr Graham Mitchell has been ridiculed just because he tries to be an amateur traffic engineer on Keighley Town Council. He’s not doing any harm, as nobody listens to him because of his amateur status. He was once a film extra on a film, The Railway Children, and nobody took any notice of him then. Leave him alone, he is part and bluster of Keighley’s grand past history. He’ll soon retire to the lure of the Keighley Town Council’s Sensory Gardens in Dock Royd, Oakworth where he can entertain more schemes for improving Protocol, Standing Orders, traffic control, Civic Pride and amateur bus driving for the community. Graham, as an ex teacher, I think you should send Mr Speller to the corner of the classroom for his impertinence. More of the same I say Graham, Oakworth and Keighley needs people like you, let’s have laughter!

You could be right blt1,keighley. Now that I've come to realise who the good ones and the bad ones are, I've become wary of certain persons from Oakworth.
