WELCOME TO WILLARD VALLEY...

It's August 2nd, 1978 and some folks have turned up for a beer tasting...

Once again the doors to the almost infamous Willard Valley were opened, this year it was the annual celebration of the founding of Willard by Saint Willard many hundreds of years ago... The celebration is a simple one... Two rival brewers from the valley are picked by Lord Willard and then they provide samples and can canvass the locals and the guests to select the one that will be known as the 'Fertility Brew.'

There was bribery, accusatons of people being French or Communist and even rumours being started that one of the brews was made of the dead... But eventually a winner was selected...

...and the winner was the Grangers Ale, 'Saints Demise.'

...and so the procession started through the valley taking in various sights, such as the graveyard, where a small friendly fire incident led to Father Highton placing a .38 slug in the back of his groaning and blood stained vergers brain and then onto the place where Saint Willard was said to be buried, which was occupied by a Ministry of Defence Scientist and team...
