THANK YOU FROM SYVDE
SKULEKORPS |
|
I am representing Syvde
Skulecorps, the school band
from Norway which attended
the parade in this year's
Fair Festival in Bo'ness.
We just want to express our
gratitude and thankfulness
over your hospitality and
warmth we were met with.
We were not sure what to
expect from this day, even
though our travel agency had
told us a bit about it. When
we came to Bo'ness we became
overwhelmed - everything was
so well organised and party
and joy filled the whole
town. A special thanks to
our guide this day, Mrs
Margaret Miller who guided
us during the festival.
I have enclosed a couple of
pictures, showing our band
and the place we come from.
Good luck with next year's
Children's Fair Festival!
Greetings from Syvde
Skulekorps

BO'NESS CHILDREN'S FAIR
FESTIVAL |
|
The biggest day of the year
here in Bo'ness has come and
gone with one of the hottest
days I have seen.
For the first time ever I
witnessed not once but twice
medics having to go to the
top tier to support two of
the Retinue who looked like
they were suffering from the
heat.
The crowning went of great
with the retinue and
presentees in immaculate
colours not forgetting the
fairies and flower girls
outfits which were bright in
the sun.
New Chairman Jim Stewart
will be glad his first Fair
has gone with fine weather.
I am sure everyone in the
town will agree with us that
we should give a big vote of
thanks to all the medical
staff who were in attendance
today and the police who
were on hand for the fast
assistance on occasions.
Thank you.
If you wish to send any your
pictures to the website
either arches or from today
were will welcome them all,
but on some occasions we
cannot upload them all.
