			<dc:creator>Adrian Corti</dc:creator>
			<description>Here's the latest bit of bother. Wandsworth Council has never made a policy against exotic animals. However recently an animal circus applied to use Battersea Park.

			<description>The CFA were always interested in new ideas for future issues of King Pole Specials and for book publications.

How about a book or certainly a KP Special about route that British shows have taken in the past?

These could include...

Billy Smart's final route in 1971

Bertram Mills final route in 1964 (wasnt it) ?

Sir Robert Fossett's Circus final tour in 1992

Robert Brothers Circus in 1980 ( when it was probably the largest and most well known show in the UK).

Charles Illeneb's magnificent royal bengal tigers

Gwyn with the aerial ballet

Li Suang (hair raising Chinese devil dancer on the bounding rope)

			<description>I trust that you will read this message in the spirit it is given. I do not use words lightly - they mean what they say. I wished the CFA 'good luck' on my previous thread and this stands. But as a circus artiste of long experience I do not feel that this organization should be beyond criticism or any particular member should be above any artiste. We are on the receiving end of the publics view and, frankly, do not need persons of no particular artistic ability having favour over us (as artistes).  ...</description>

			<description>To all Circus Friends and friends of circus I wish you all the very best in the future in private capacities or when following this unique art form called circus.

I send warm congratulations to Frazer for changing and forwarding this website that can only be good for circus. It is true, that I have been a voice of criticism but it has always been constructive - to find better ways. I have always been the same even when tenting past years with shows of variable sizes 'can't we find the better  ...</description>

in Nottingham, I have to say that the show looks fantastic

as you drive up to it.

I last saw the show about 3 years ago when he had the old tent

and the show now looks dramaticly bigger and better.

Hope he does good business.
