My feeling is that some of the events get a bit stagnant and it’s always good to have some of the tradition but to bring something new to the event each year (mix it up a bit)

for me in this day and age of high priced fuel and green issues, why not decorate bikes, shopping trolleys, wheelbarrows etc and go for a more green parade (just a thought)

Maybe with the good vibe from Olympics and the great guild it might renew some pride back,

im up for that, or a good bed push
