ALARM bells were ringing at a county council when it was mistakenly suggested that members would be meeting in the pub.
The legal notice appeared in a local newspaper giving details of North Yorkshire County Council's annual meeting today - in the town's Jolly Minster pub.
The notice caused some head-scratching at the council as annual meetings are normally held six months hence - and in the sedate setting of County Hall.
An official discovered it was a misprint and should have announced the annual meeting of the North Yorkshire County Show.
"We're relieved to have found out just what was behind the notice. It certainly had people wondering just what was happening, although we certainly knew it wasn't our annual meeting," said a council spokesman
