The St George Day parade should have been next week but as next week is Easter it got pushed forward a week. The group above are from Trinity Church.

This year the Sea Cadets led the parade. Numbers were down a little on previous years because it is the middle of the Easter holiday and lots of people are away, but it was still a good parade.

Duncan Brown, The Mayor, gave the address in the church. He is pictured here with Beth Fleming, Chairman of the district council. Duncan was a scout, and Beth was a Guide. It may well have helped them get where they are today.

Today was also Palm Sunday and so a lot of churches had a parade into church. The Trinity Church congregation sang “Ride on Ride on in Majesty” as they paraded into church this morning holding palms made into crosses.

Yesterday in the Albert Park there was a fun day with face painting and a bunny hunt organised by the Abingdon Vineyard Church. Three of the helpers dressed up as bunnies and went and hid. When children had found all three (with tokens to prove it), they could collect a chocolate egg. The event was so popular the organisers ran out of eggs, and eggs are to be dispatched after the event to those who missed out.
