Bank Holiday Monday was a traditional day of unpredictable weather. At 8am, Chris Williams, Steve Orlando and Nick Clay set the stand up in pleasant sunshine, before Nick left to cheer Mandy on in the Watford 10k. At 10am, club members started to arrive to cover their shift.

The stand consisted of two gazebos with information boards, and then the obstacle course at the back of the site. The best arrival were the cupcakes in club colours with little LBAC flags! Every child that did the obstacle course got a free cupcake and a Leighton Tough 10 mug! To coincide with the arrival of club members, the rain decided it would also put in an appearance and then chose to stay for the rest of the day. Thanks goes to Steve and Nick particularly for helping at 7.50am, and to the cupcake makers for the best bit of marketing we could have had! Also thanks to the club members who looked after the obstacle course, in particular Amelia and Theresa who manned it during the worst of the weather, and then thanks to all of you who turned up for an hour but stayed for far longer, maybe because it was too wet to leave!!

The packing up was quick and easy thanks to all of you who hung around to help including Nick who returned to help, and I expect to see some new junior members and possible some new seniors as a result of the day. It was a real community effort of combined seniors and juniors and I look forward to a scorcher of a year next year please!!!
