Happy St Georges Day


Well today is St Georges Day, the 23rd April. Despite many residents and Politicians calling for a Bank Holiday for today, we still don’t have one. I do think that many residents would support the idea of introducing a National Day. As usual nothing is being organised by Havering Council, despite all the big words.

Apart from both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor attending the Scouts, St Georges Parades in Romford, Hornchurch and Squirrels Heath Scout Districts, nothing much happened, apart from the market traders displaying their flags in the market place, which of course they have done so for years.

As a Scout Leader of 15 years now, I was pleased to attend the St Georges Parade in Romford yesterday, Cllr Georgina Galpin, the Deputy Mayor was in attendance and looked great in all her splendour, she spent a lot of time talking with all of the young Beavers, Cubs & Scouts, which was nice to see.

As there is no bank holiday, I suppose I better get of to work, let’s see what happens next year.
