Maisie and Jayden are both founding members of the Cultural Society of Dingshire ('the 'society'), a society made up of local residents. The society produces a monthly newsletter, which is distributed free of charge from the local Tourist Information Office. It is also placed on the website of the local council (Dingshire County Council). Maisie is the primary author and editor of the newsletter. Jayden is in charge of the more practical publication matters.

information in the article was provided by several sources and makes several allegations.

The first allegation is that Miss Prim, an amateur opera singer, is having an affair with Mr Bong, the conductor of the local brass band. The article comments that she is "...so obsessed she hasn't been able to concentrate during performances for months.... Mr Bong follows her around drooling at the mouth". In fact, Miss Prim and Mr Bong (who is happily married) are working closely together on a music project and have had no romantic involvement whatsoever. Both are extremely upset by the allegation.

The article goes on to refer to a new artist "who only had their work exhibited as a result of a bribe". In fact, Magic Mason was the only new artist to exhibit work in a landscape exhibition, organised by Gorgeous Galleria, which is a new and popular art gallery in the area. The allegation is wholly untrue and was spread by a jealous artist whose work had been rejected for the exhibition.

The final allegation relates to a sum of 2000, which had been raised by Dingshire County Council's Education Department to promote children's art projects during the summer holiday. The article suggests that since no projects have taken place, the local councillors have used the money to fund luxury trips under the pretence of educational research. In fact, the money has been used to purchase new art materials for the children's summer school, which is due to take place in the last week of August. Nicola, the council member primarily in charge of the Education Department, is particularly upset at this allegation.
