Page 9 JUNE 2011 SINCE AUGUST 2007 PAGE 2 Outboys Go South By The Minstrel The Outboys are quite unique to the Agiotfest; one of their number, Micky Clark, is a true Agiot. He comes to our village every year from his home in Cheltenham, sometimes several times, and has taken to here- abouts like a bird to the sky. He owns a parcel of the New Cactus Hilton, on which the event will take place. He has threatened to take his land away if anyone up- sets him. Last year he went to the sound-check and broke several drum-kits-not belonging to him of course- just to show us he can hit drums as hard as anyone else. And he has persuaded the other members of his long- suffering band- he must have got them drunk- to come and join the party. The Outboys have been spon- sored for their appearance this year by DAYLONG, an interna- tional company headed by fel- low-Agiot Paul Grove. Thank you very much for your contin- ued support of our event.
