So, the Pram Race was blessed with lovely weather this year, thankfully, and here is the Lifeboat team halfway round in the High Street (with many thanks to their facebook page for the image, cheers!), and the full sized lifeboat may well be in the parade on Saturday (though the new Shannon Class lifeboat due for arrival in the Autumn may not be in the parade next year, apparently, due to technical reasons, as in it is longer, I believe!), anyway, a wee bit larger than the excellent lifeboat 'pram' on show above!
Plenty still to come, of course, walks, exhibitions and so much more, for example, today (Thursday) sees the Whelk Eating Competition, 5.00pm at Reeves Corner, and the Grand Charity Auction from 6.30pm at the same venue (with thanks to their website for this image, and for more details of events). Although events carry on into Sunday (website), the real culmination of the week is the Grand Carnival Procession which starts at 5.00pm from Rock-a-Nore Road on Saturday (website); though some local roads will be closed off to normal traffic from 3pm until 8pm!
Whatever you do, please enjoy yourselves!
I'm still having IT issues, so my apologies for brief and irregular blogs, I should be back to normal in a week or so, fingers crossed...
