Strike a pose! Colchester Pride is still going as the Goodgym Colchester squad take a little break. So far we have seen a mix of stalls from Essex Wildlife Trust and vegan food to the Green Party joining the fun but the main attraction is the people. Such a lovely, diverse and family event with poets, drag acts, bands and solo artists giving their all to entertain.
Big shout out to Libby, Jenna and Dan for organising the event and setting the goodgymers up to direct traffic and litter pick. The in term for litter picking and jogging is 'plogging' but we were dancing and litter picking so perhaps a new phrase needs inventing...jigging? Hmmm sure you can do better!
We are going to help with the tidy up at 5pm and then off to the next of our double task bank holiday Saturday.
Colchester really showed its true colours today and it was a rainbow...also lovely to see charities like Outhouse East and hear that Colchester Pride has charity status too this year as well as Colchester Black Lives Matter in Colchester.
