What a simply brilliant day.

The rain stayed away, and the sun made many welcoming appearances.

It was so lovely to see the park so full of people of all ages, and all enjoying themselves, many of them Accy Webbers.

A massive thanks must go the the Friends of Rhyddings Park, who must have worked hard ensuring today was a great success, espcially Gayle.

I know a lot of the dickie birds who live in the park, and one of them did twitter in my ear that a certain Peter Britcliffe had made sure the park was looking it's best today, and it was. So credit where credit's due, I'm sure it was appreciated.

The four bands were brilliant, and there was something to suit most musical tastes.

I throughly enjoyed myself, and catching up with so many people for a natter was fun, whilst enjoying the sunshine and music.

Thank you to all who made it happen.:)

Neil, your speech at the end moved me to tears.:D

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

Was a brilliant day.....and night :D food was good company was good bands were good oh and booze wasn't too bad either ;) have put some pics on (don't bother about the caption on some of them mick will sort them out for me tomorrow).

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

Thanks to everyone who came, hope your head is ok now Kate!!!!!

One unfortunate thing is that the Accy Obs and Lancs Tel didn't send photographers or reporters so it won't get any coverage. Oh, well I suppose we don't do it for the glory of being in the papers - we do it for everyone who turned up. The police reckon there were about 1,000 people there at the peak. Thanks.

excellent pics Lynx :D

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

I am glad I made the effort to go, and would have stayed longer if some seating had been provided near the bandstand. I almost sat down on the grass but mid descent I decided that it wasn't such a good idea :D

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

sorry a bit late with this .................may i say a big thank you to all the organisers of the event on sunday in Rhyddings Park what a great afternoon, oh i know i was with katex & my mates but the atmosphere was buzzing, there was something for everyone, i do hope that you hold another one next year, it was well attended too, Gayle, Neil, & The Friends of Rhyddings Park i applaud you all, well done.

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

If I could say one thing without it spoiling things for all the others who have posted, who seem well pleased with the offerings, but will anything be more suited to us young un's next year ;):)

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

It looke like everyone had a great day, sorry we missed it. Some good pictures in there Lynx.

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

I told you on Sunday, to take your funny fags and tins of Special Brew to the Mela that should be in Oakhill Park but can't be because the bandstand was being rebuilt at the same time then wasn't so has moved to the Sports Centre anyway.

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

Wasn't able to get there myself due to other commitments but three of my grandaughters were there and had a good time. Glad all who went enjoyed it

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

I think that is quite poor by both the Obs and the LT they do monitor this site and I'm sure Gayle will have told them anyway. The LT have an ossy section on their Web Sit and are always asking for stories, and of coure the Obs have an Ossy page too, surely an event like this was worth a few pics and some column inches:(

Re: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park
 

Got more pics but didn't want to bore you all too much. :D
