A VERY big thank you to all who worked tirelessly over the past year to produce yet another wonderful May Day spectacle.

I, however, was saddened to learn that the street collection is falling year on year.

Considering how many people thronged the route, it would have been uplifting if everyone had donated just 50p to boost the much needed May Day funds.

Just a tiny percentage of what is later ‘donated’ to the local pubs and fairground, would preserve this large family event for years to come.

What a shame (on us), if we were to lose, through lack of financial support, an event which is the ‘Jewel in Knutsford’s crown’.
