There was another leaflet that caught my eye at the Hawth tonight, this one produced by Crawley borough council and advertising the Crawley Diego Garcian Society Fair at the K2 leisure centre on Sunday.I’m still thinking about going to Farnborough on Sunday because they are supposed to have a B-52 flying there, as well as the A400M, Vulcan and all sorts of other goodies, but if I decide to give it a miss I think I’ll pop down to the K2.
The programme includes Diego Garcian food, Sega songs and music, Afro Caribbean music, gospel, film projections, fashion show, keepy uppies.
There will be stalls for different cuisines, African crafts, fishing, souvenirs and stalls for local and national organisations and charities.
Not only does it sound like fun, but it will be good to go along and show some support for the town’s growing Chagossian community.  We may not be able to reverse the terrible injustice done to them on our behalf but at least we can go along, make them feel welcome, and investigate this new facet to the town’s culture.
It runs from 1000 to 1600 on Sunday. Worth going just to find out what the ‘fishing’ means. And for the keepy uppies.
