This may have been on of our weirdest Group Runs ever. We started our evening ferrying very light and very fragile neon lights down to Anna's car - which was a pleasant surprise as I thought Anna had said they were exceptionally heavy!

Whilst the neon were being gently driven to their new home in the Bridge Centre, the squad transported some of the enormous lanterns for the annual parade on foot. We certainly got a few looks, smiles and "what the f#£k"s as we paraded down Fratton Road with a collection of lanterns. To be fair, it isn't every evening you see a grown man half carrying, half wearing a giant papier mache swan, even in Portsmouth.

Thanks everyone for your help this evening, many hands certainly made light work!
