Well Friday was a success, after much effort and planning it all came together well, in a colourful carnival atmosphere with the 3 groups with different characters.
The challenge of how to present and translate the Access ideas proved to be worth the struggle, and thanks on the day to Karen who collected feedback in/on her costume, and to Glen and Zoe and all who had time to talk to passers by, to engage in the discussion about mobility /access etc in a fun and joyful atmosphere (500 cards were given out)...
The only time i got out my camera was when we did an impromptu stop and performed for a wedding party! such a wonderful meeting of occasion and dressing up, theirs and ours!
We saw them on the way to the Town Hall, here, and then the bride and groom driving away in their car at the lifeboat corner!
So here are my snaps, there are photos from the tweeting on the FB page and more to come.

| Tina suggested Kerry's sedan chair could be for hire! as it attracted many comments and requests. |
Kerry and Trevor were both able to do their stunts/action with David and were surrounded and supported by characters from the company.
We all met up a few times to sing Barnoon Hill, to the tune of Camborne Hill.
- words by Debbie O'Nyons.
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down
The wheelchair got stuck
We were all out of puff
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down
Support stockings, support stockings she wore
Support stockings, support stockings she wore
Support stockings she wore the same as before
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
I knew we were doomed 'alf way up
I knew we were doomed 'alf way up
It started to roll, down the hill it did bowl
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
It gathered, it gathered great speed
It gathered , it gathered great speed
I shouted “Me cockers take heed”
I shouted "Take heed"
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
It made such a blimen 'andsome sight
To see that poor maid in full flight
Skirts up round her 'ed
Knew’d she’d 'ave me for dead
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
There was 'ell up on hittin' those cobbles
There was 'ell up in hittin' those cobbles
I opened me bottle of mead and sank to me knees
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
It had to be flaming high tide
It had to be flaming high tide
Crying, "Call the life boat for me!"
As she bobbed out to sea
Goin' up Barnoon Hill coming down.
There is a lot to say about this project, it has it's own website and hopefully other people will write it from their perspective as each group met up, but had their own journey.
Many thanks to all who helped and were involved,
and who knows there are plans and Kerry's sedan chair and friends maybe seen in Mazey day next year!!!
Next,
Bread and Writing workshop with Kneehigh at their Barns, for some of the main company tomorrow. We are looking forward to it.
It is a fantastic opportunity and will also provide creative ideas and time for some of the writers and artists who will deliver our Moving Words project.
I have just started another short BSL ( British Sign Language) course and I am learning so much about the culture and history, people and their struggles each time I engage with it.
Congratulations to Jessie and Demelza who have passed their BSL level 1 this year.
Trustees meeting Monday evening, we are awaiting funding news and making plans.
