A wonderful day.The presence of no less than 6 clergy in St James' guaranteed the weather!
Thanks to all the sides who attended, Ian O'Toole for doing a great job on the PA, and all the licensees, particularly John and Alison at The Vale for providing us with somewhere to build the cart, and Les and Lynn and their team at The Nelly for the fantastic breakfasts.
Also, thanks to Gorton Sports And Social for the ceilidh venue, All Blacked Up for the music and all the sponsors, without which the event event wouldn't have taken place.
Finally, the smiles on the faces on the of the public as they watched the parade(when I could see them through a veil of tears!), made us all realise why we started the morrs side thirty five years ago.
A great boost for Gorton
