Gee Cross Well Dressing 2015
Yesterday, 13 July, along with the community I was proud to be part of the 2015 Gee Cross Well Dressing event. This year, in its 16th year, taking in six well dressings decorated by local community groups (including the Gee Cross WI) and local schools.
Although not quite blue sky above, the weather was warm and thankfully there was no rain. The weather pretty much perfect then to see some great art work and hear of the work of local schools and groups in making the dressings - all of which were very impressive.
The ‘march’ was lead by Denton Brass Band, who were nothing short of fantastic. This was followed by a service at Hyde Chapel, which as always was fun, entertaining and full of learning.
