Report from Dale
Entrants - 15 entertaining and thoughtful clever parodies.
It was almost impossible to say that one was better than another as the standard was high, but an award had to be made.
I was pleased when Noel Gardner from Malaney accepted the engraved tankard, he mentioned that in 1989 he heard John sing at the National Folk Festival at Malaney and was inspired to write and to think about using parody to enforce his strong environmental messages.
