Their hoping we can get 12 to carry the flags for them and looks like where going to find them  :thumbs:

There's at least 12 flags and reason why where in their 50th parade which is called " Thanks for the memory " . We are a new thing and they like the idea of us in the parade but couldn't workout how the could fit !? LOL
They have said 20's the maxium for the parade ( but I'll sort that out  ;) ) but don't mind more before and after turning up  :-\
I think if we get over 20 turn up I'd be the first Bocker to jump over the Moon  :o :biggrin:

I brought a cheap Union-Jack flag and a £2 wash pole that expends to about 6 foot by 4 foot.  I've not seen the ones their thinking of but I'd guess they'd be like this one.

I tied it on the top and on the screw ( half way down pole ) and put a bit of rubber on the end ( don't need it ).
I went out and opened the flag out and found it so easy to carry even running with !?
By the end I was swinging it all over the place, if this is what there after is a doddle  :thumbs:

I'll sort some pix's and maybe a video. I'll contact them as well to see if their happy !?

They like the idea thing is they asked what we wear because, the theme for the parade is 'Thanks for the Memories'  :-\
Not to say they wouldn't want us anyway just got any idea's ?


dont know if this has been suggested but i dont really have time to go through atm.
thanks for the memorys: go as a bunch of camera totting tourists

That doesn't matter they want us anyway !? They've asked us if we would like to carry the flags ( 6 foot x 4 foot ) on the day.

I'm going into Spalding this weekend to meet up with them maybe do a bit of promo for them too !?
I'm also going to check the route out !? Like I've said it's about 3.5 miles at walking speed.

I won't be on the road by then, I am trying to hunt down a nice car for myself, and will not have it till june by the looks of it.

Just do not ask what car!! But to anyone who owns a place that uses cooking oil, give it to me after you have used it, as I can re-use it for other needs, namely in the car I want to buy!! lol :biggrin:
