MARTINBOROUGH CHRISTMAS PARADE

February 9, 2015 February 2015 No Comments

Martinborough-Christmas-Parade-094 Well what a truly wonderful parade. Thank you to everyone who entered a float and got into the spirit of Christmas. Children all lined the Square watching the floats and waiting for Father Christmas to make his appearance. A big thank you to Kay Mills for organising the parade and to all our wonderful local businesses for their continued support, without all of you the parade wouldn’t happen.

The inaugural Business Christmas Carol singing competition was won by Martinborough Bar and Grill although they faced some stiff competition from other local businesses so we look forward to another exciting challenge later in the year!
The Christmas Carols were organised by Steve Lewis and compared by Jacky Nathu. Thank you to all the musicians, Martinborough Choir and The Madcaps crew who all participated so that the evening ran smoothly and was lots of fun. It was great watching all the small children sing and dance … future Madcaps participants???…
Thanks to Tegan King for supplying the photo.
