If one has a partner not extremely interested in RISC OS but who fancies a
day out, are there any other events happening contemporaneously which might
be of interest?
One possible area of interest: Bedlington terriers.

Depends on what they would find interesting, I suppose...
I'm no expert on Things To Do In Wakefield[1], or on Bedlington Terriers,
but if all else fails one can get to Leeds and back by train in 20 minutes
each way and for not very much[2]. Between the shops, museums and art
galleries there it should be possible to while away few hours.
The City Museum and Art Gallery are free, and not that far from the station:
http://www.leeds.gov.uk/museumsandgalleries/Pages/Visit.aspx
(no idea if that's NetSurf-friendly, sorry). To get to them you have to walk
through all of the shops. There's also the Royal Armouries, which is free as
well:
http://www.royalarmouries.org/visit-us/leeds
(ditto on the website -- it seems to be bust in Firefox at present, too).
I'd find it walkable from the station; others may disagree -- if it isn't,
then there are plenty of buses that run from close to the station entrance.
The Tourist Information Centre is in Leeds station, and should have details
of all of the above and much more besides if required (the bus stops you'd
need for the Armouries, for example, are not particularly intuitive to
find).
There's more touristy info here: http://www.visitleeds.co.uk/
For both Leeds and Wakefield, http://www.wymetro.com/ is an invaluable
source of information on getting around.
Dunno if any of that's at all useful...
1. I'll leave that to one of my Wakefield-resident co-conspiritors (and as
if on cue, I see that Chris has come up with more local knowledge than I
could have done).
2. Direct service from Westgate; less than 5ukp for a return.

That is a political view, Alan.
That's your opinion, that's fine, but many others would feel that she had
not earned the colossal shindig that is being laid on tomorrow. That's
their opinion and equally valid.

Or was that not interested in spending on anything that benefitted the
masses but I'm all right Jack?

If it wasn't for M.Thatcher sorting out the unions then the factory I worked
for would have been closed down and its plant equipment moved to a town not
