I was also at that meeting in the library, I did'nt take notes, I have a good memory. Some of the suggestions were too daft to laugh at, to name one, why don't we have a parade of soldiers marching thro Accrington like they did in September 1915,
that march thro Accrington started in Blackburn, with W, & Z Coy's marching over Red Cap, thro West End Oswaldtwistle, & into Accrington, to take the salute outside the Town Hall.
Trouble is with last nights statement that march past happened on AUGUST 1st 1915, even Pine Wood Studio's could'nt recreate that event, 500 men in full WW1 kit plus SMLE rifles. What dream world do you lot live in.
