After our 5th Birthday Boat Party - 29 August 2010

Wow - what a night - what a party.  When the invitation was received there was an initial intake of breath followed by 'can I afford to go?' Closely followed by 'can I afford NOT to go.  Having got that decision sorted the next step was to research the 1920's costume - thank goodness for the website, many happy hours spent trolling through a wealth of fascinating information about the era including some rather detailed videos on make-up! ...

Considering the unusual timing of 1230 pm on a Sunday, we had a good audience consisting largely of mayors, mayors and more mayors and mayoresses - 9, to be precise, and 2 deputies!

We were raising funds this time for the Mayor of Kingston's Charity Appeal supporting Combat Stress and Forces Children's Trust and he had invited mayors from several neighbouring boroughs including some from London. The glittering, clanking chains were a sight to behold! Once again borrowed staging was wheeled along the road from a nearby church. We had the luxury of several dressing rooms upstairs so when it was time to go on stage there was a long trail of us down dark and narrow back stairs waiting for our cue to all march on.
