Thanks to all those who came to our Mayday celebrations. Despite the weather a good time was had by all. We all enjoyed a performance by The Rise choir which included the Mayday classic ‘Summer is a cummin’ in’. Here are a couple of photos of the Maypole dancing. Thanks to Angela for borrowing the Maypole and to Chris for the musical accompaniment.
