The day dawned with promise, the sun was shining at Lark in the Park 2023.

However, as the clouds rolled in we arrived at Bramshall Park and started to pull our stand together. The team of volunteers helped Pauline and Fay set up as the rain started. Our Guess the Name of the Dog had a front row seat. We also had a celebrity guest in the form of Minnie Mouse, well Stacey dressed up as was good enough.

The rain came and it did put a bit of a damper on the start of the afternoon but before you knew it the sun broke through and the crowds started arriving.

The children certainly warmed to Minnie and she was a real boost in helping our Wheelbarrow Raffle sales. Volunteers, Carys and Andrew, supported Sue out front, persuading people to have a go on the Tombola, and before we knew it the list of names for the dog were growing too.

The day concluded with a delighted gentleman, called Paul, winning the Wheelbarrow Raffle and our lovely dog found a new home and is now called Binx. As the clouds and crowds drifted away, the afternoon drew to a close. Yet another successful Lark in the Park.

Thank you Uttoxeter Lions and a huge thank you to YOU the public for once again being so generous especially during this challenging time of hardship.

Until next time…
