Hello!
This is incredibly important if you all want to go to Glade Festival this year. The time has come to start emailing West Berkshire council in support of Glade. I am going to copy the email i have been sent in here and at this point it would be brilliant if as many people as possible were to write to the email addresses on there.
Thank you!!
Ok Chaps, this is your time to do a bit. Please email Brian Leahy on the first email address below, copy it to the editor at the Newbury. Do your own individual email that covers these points.

The Festival is a safe event, the safest festival you have ever attended, all the local people you have spoken to and the festival goers all want the festival to happen. It is good news for the local community. West Berkshire is lucky to have the opportunity to host the event and it would be very sad if it didn’t happen. Everyone you have spoken to has said that it was NOT a noise nuisance locally.
Please word this in your own words, do not just copy what I have said.
Please send this onto everyone on your messenger/contact list and ask them ALL to blind copy me in so that I can have an idea of the support we have been able to give.
Please can you start hustling as many letters / emails as possible to brian leahy – now is the time – the more letters we get the more chance we got – it is still very much in the balance right now.
It is definitely always a help to send the letters also to the newspapers. (Newbury Weekly News)
There no standard letter format to follow – in fact if the council think people are just cutting and pasting the same letter they all get discounted – the letters have to be individually written.
However, if the supporters could write in and say that
a) they think the event is a benefit to the people and businesses of the local area and presents no problems with crime for the local area.
b) that they do not believe it is a noise disturbance to the local area – this is a key point and should appear somewhere in each letter if possible.
If they word it in their own way it would be better.
It is also better to keep the letters relatively short and sweet – the main two points are above.
