Wap 2008: gorgeous day

Here are some photos from today - Mark Cummngs from BBC returns to present beautiful pottery plaques and certificates to Princesses, Mop boys, flag boys and all the rest....

......I was on a stall selling strawberries and cream for the school plus lucky dip, a decorate a biscuit stall and raffle tickets...

.....there are also a few pics of the procession plus the new Mayor, Stan and the Queen being carried through the streets - plus of course the mop boys and their apprentices flicking water at the crowds...I missed the Mayor dunking in the pool.....

Calvin (pictured with Mark Cummings in the second photo) did an amazing marathon of a job as master of ceremonies announcing all the various stages along the route and more - all credit to him and indeed all the organisers - thank you indeed for a great community event!!

The weather was kind - indeed hot and dry - quite unlike some recent Waps - indeed I was sweltering selling the strawberries - there were also lots of great stalls and other activities - I came away with some of More Halls excellent veggie samosas for tonight and some plants.

They also had the Maypole dancing and a dog display which included dogs leaping through hoops, a wellie throwing contest and loads more...indeed need to go and sit quite with a cup of tea in the garden!!!
