As I hope readers will be aware the new Lord Mayor, Alderman Andrew Parmley (an Honorary Liveryman of our Company), will be installed on Friday 11th November. For the Lord Mayors Show the following day, we have designed and built a float and will be number 59 in the parade.
Preparations are well advanced – the brilliant 3m high magic tap (which appears to have a continuous flow of water from nowhere) has been built by one of our members, Dylan Barker and his team at Precolor (see photograph). The pump which operates the tap has been donated by another member, Stuart Herritty, whilst the low loader (see photograph) and drivers are being provided by yet another member, Kevin Clancy. The sound system is being provided by Thames Warden Mike Williamsons son. We are fortunate to have such generous members, including Barry Dennis, Roger Hewitt, Ivor Richards and Peter Hall, who together with Thames Tideway have made cash contributions to make all this happen.On the day, we will have a total of 50 members and their families either on the float or walking alongside it, all wearing Water Conservator emblazoned clothing – we hope it will make quite a spectacle.
I hope as many of you as possible will come along and support us on 12th November – it promises to be a fun day out!
