WHAT a fantastic bank holiday we had in Pershore.

It was certainly purple, and thanks must go not only to the team that put the Plum Festival together but to the visitors who made the whole day worthwhile.

Paddling through puddles was not the original intention of the day, but in true Brit style everyone coped and where necessary even danced in the rain, much to the delight of onlookers and especially visitors from our twin town of Bad Neustadt, who after 35 years association are used to our “flexible ways”.

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, and although we are still drying out the equipment, plans for next year will be discussed shortly.

In order for the festival to continue more members on the team are necessary, so whatever you think you could add in the way of brains or brawn, do get in touch.

However, I do stress that It ‘s not an essential requirement to have your hair coloured purple!
