Lord Mayor's procession - July 5th

Thought I'd start a topic about this.

Who's coming along to help, and at what time?

I've also booked and paid for the 4 Sgt Peppers Beatles outfits - I'll be wearing one, who'll be wearing the other 3? You will owe me £18 I'm afraid.

For those of you who don't know the drill:

2pm Load cars on to the back of the lorry at Notcutts Garden Centre
3pm Drive round to Newmarket road
3:30pm start dressing the float up
6pm Latest time to arrive if you want to be on the float for the procession
6:45pm Procession starts
8pm Unload lorry in MFI car park

Anyone wishing to be on the float should dress in either sixties gear or club sweatshirt/t-shirts

I'll offer my services for this one keith, should be available from 2pm onwards...I'll take up one of the outfits too if thats ok?

I have a Austin Powers Outfit at the ready
GROOOOOOOOOOVY BABY

what are we doing to decorate the trailer??

I have the club banner for the truck and all the bunting.

Do we have a nice big sound system?? Mike has the generator.

as for costumes I was looking at the Fat Bastard inflatable suit on fleebay

Just went round the char-iddy shops and decked Chend out in pink flares, flowery top and a big hat.
Bunting sounds good, we need to spend a little time tomorrow sorting out the decorations.

We'll be there at two oclock by the way

Just to keep tabs, the 4 beatles outfits will be going to me, Craig, Michael and Phill. Johnnie has a Austin Powers outfit, Chend is showing her youth and going for a seventies outfit instead

I have the clubs bunting and banners. I have a few flags and whistles!!

what other decorations are we doing??

Don't know about decorations but I have the 4 beatles outfits (and 4 large umbrellas bought on the cheap - just in case). I've also just done an 80min CD of sixties tunes, all cross-faded so there'll be no quiet gaps!

Does anyone know if we can we hand out flyers promoting the club?

We can hand out flyers. Done it a few years back, but didnt get 1 new member!!

Ah. Ok. Probably wouldn't be that practical for someone to be walking along handing them out anyway.

The sound system had better be better than last year!

going off the size of the generator Mike had on Tuesday. I think most of norwich should hear us!! (hopefully)

Photos from yesterday are on my nmoc gallery here.



Just wanted to say what a great procession I thought it was - lots of photos taken of us, the cars and the float and lots of the crowd singing along with the music. A good effort by those who were on the float too, some great costumes and decorations.

I did feel for the old dear who was sat outside The Bell - we passed very close to her and stopped for about a minute with one of the speakers in her face - she'll remember us if no one else!

good pics Keith. I'll try and upload mine during the week.

Thanks to everyone who took part or helped. Some good interest in the club was shown including my Radio Norfolk interview during the procession.

T'was a good gig man...all came together well and I certainly enjoyed the day, albeit Kna'*#*ed by the end. Photo on this page says it all.

Peace bro's...groovy baby...yeah man...MINI FANTASTIC!
