Thurning Feast

Thurning Feast is an annual celebration held on 25 July and located in a meadow next to the village's 12th century church. 25 July is the feast day of Saint James the Pilgrim who is patron of the church. Locally popular, the feast includes live music performances, food stalls, a vintage funfair and bars.[2]

gollark: Huh, apparently my school *already* has timetables and teacher/class assignments for next school year. That might be overoptimistic of them but who knows.
gollark: It seems like one of those things which can't possibly *entirely* work, since you can't just give someone some data (an image) and then prevent them doing stuff you don't like with it, but can work a bit and at least frustrate people without specific domain knowledge.
gollark: Hmm, if you use it in a browser somehow it might not even be able to detect being screenshotted since those have better sandboxing.
gollark: Anyway, the whole "blocking screenshots" thing (or at least notifying people when they get their stuff screenshotted) seems doomed to failure like DRM. Why do Android and iOS even *tell* the app it's being screenshotted? That seems bound to be abused.
gollark: That doesn't sound inconvenient at all!
