*About the PA - it's solar power meaning no nasty diesel fumes and
throbbing genny rumble. I know people are sceptical but it works
brilliantly (and there are batteries in case the sun doesn't shine). Here's
a couple of pictures (just imagine the loudness! - we'll have more speakers
this time too) - we also powered the cinema for two days at Haworth
eco-fair, so we know there's plenty of juice.
