The best news article I found while doing Oscar basket research was this lovely account of the goody bag that the town of Sudbury put together for Sir Ian McKellen when he visited the Sudbury Rotary Club. The “bag of the finest treats the town has to offer” included silk ties, golf balls, meals at local restaurants, books about local culture, a selection of beers from Mauldon’s Brewery, and a vegetarian quiche and a granary loaf. (NOTE: updated to fix Sudbury as town, Suffolk is the county. Thanks V!)
