A co-organiser of the annual Drighlington Beer Festival, which recently featured in the Morley Observer & Advertiser, Paul Horne, landlord of the Spotted Cow in Whitehall Road, said the paper had an important part to play in his successful charity and community work.

Punters had also come from further afield to the pub than expected as a result of articles in our papers, he said.
