On Saturday we were with Newcastle District at Newcastle Town Centre’s 1st Food Festival.
The day was started by a parade from Queen’s Gardens led by our Drum Corps along with the Town Crier and the Borough’s Mayor, Councillor Ian Wilkes.
In the afternoon, the Drums played down by Hassell Street and the High Street.
The day came to an end with another parade from Queen’s Gardens, led by the Drums, but this time with all the Group flags and by trolleys of food which was to be donated to the local food banks.
Everyone came together again by the Market Cross and District Commissioner Vera presented a number of awards, including a well deserved 20 years service award to Don!
