The weather on Saturday morning couldn’t have been any worse but our event went ahead and despite the torrential rain, we had an excellent turn out. Everyone turned up prompt and the shop was thoroughly chaotic with hats of all sizes and styles being pulled from one head to the other. Scalves were in great demand and we only just had enough accessories to satisfy everybodies enthusiasm and creativity. The pound shop had lots of red umbrellas set to one side for us but we didn’t need them as the rain stopped minutes before we set off. Hooray!!
The 24 people dressed in red set off on the walk and together all walking single file, we stretched almost the full length of the market and Fishergate. We created such an impact that as we walked along, people stopped and stared in disbelief, took photographs, smiled and laughed, and one lady even joined the tail end of the walk and joked about her bum looking big on the video. We all sat at Mr Cappuccino and watched the people on the square watching us. Everyone chatted and laughed and shared the unique experience. It seems that a great time was enjoyed by all.
Thanks to everyone who came along as it made it spectacular, and thanks to Elaine, Phillippa, Charles and our lovely volunteers who were brilliant and Kevin for doing the video. We both really enjoyed every minute of working in the St John’s Centre and we start Bury on the 19th August after a well deserved rest!
