After a break of four years, the new Committee have staged their first Whaley Bridge Carnival.
And what a success! Well worth the long wait. A magnificent parade, followed by an afternoon of events in the Canal Basin......which of course included a performance by Whaley Bridge Band.
The Beer Barrel Polka to name but a few.
And to add to the festivities, we were all in fancy dress. To complement the Alpine music, there were plenty of knobbly knees on show in their Lederhosen, and more than a few maidens in their Dirndls.
We even had Batman's arch enemy, The Joker, playing a Tenor Horn in the Band.
But maybe we over did the crossing, perhaps should have been fingers only, because it was sunshine in spades. We shouldn't complain about sunshine, but it really was too hot, and our "slot" from 2.30 to 3.30 was the hottest part of the day. But the Band played on, way beyond the call of duty.
And, last but not least, Ros, not only playing percussion but leading the actions for YMCA. Amazing!
Thank you, Ros.
Whaley Bridge with a bang.
