Hash: SHA1
A new housing development is to be built in the town of Wincanton by
George Wimpey & Co. Those of you who have been paying attention over the
past few years will recall that Wincanton is officially twinned with
Ankh-Morpork. So Wimpey & Co have decided that some of the new streets
should be named after their Ankh-Morpork counterparts and will also be
donating £1000 to Alzheimers research.
Terry has agreed a shortlist of names, and fans are now invited to vote
for their favourites. The winning names will be revealed by Terry
during the Wincanton April Shower Event (see below for details).
The shortlist of street names are:
Mollymog Street
Moon Pond Lane
Cable Street
Shamlegger Street
Peach Pie Street
Treacle Mine Road
Hen and Chickens Field
Lobbin Clout
Scoone Avenue
Tenth Egg Street
Kicklebury Street
Morpork Street
Ankh Street
The Ridings
Pick your favourite three names, and email them to disc...@htpr.co.uk.
Voting closes at 1pm GMT on Friday 27 March.
Of course, the choice is yours, but I will just point out that Terry has
said "Personally, I'd pay good money to live somewhere called Treacle
Mine Road". Not that that should influence your choice. In any way.
Perish the thought.
The April Shower Event will run from Saturday,4th April to Sunday, 5th
April 2009 in Wincanton itself. On Saturday 4 April there will be a
Makers Market at The Bear and an area set aside for decorating your
April Shower Cap. The Costume Parade and the judging of the best April
Shower Cap will take place on Saturday afternoon.
There will also be the traditional Saturday night evening meal (a Beef
in Guinness Supper) at The Bear and The Dolphin.
Cost: £9.50 per head including pudding.
Please book directly with the pub of your choice:
The Bear: 01963 32581
The Dolphin: 01963 32215
After supper there will be the equally traditional Charity Auction. If
you would like a table at the Makers Market or want to contribute a lot
for the Charity Auction, please email
hil...@cunningartificer.demon.co.uk as soon as possible.
On Sunday, Terry will reveal the chosen street names at around 3pm at
the Wincanton office of George Wimpey (which just happens to be opposite
the Discworld Emporium shop).
Happy voting!
