CCR supported the switch on of Bollington's Christmas lights on a very wet Thursday evening.

Despite the rain lashing down, quite a number of people attended this first ever switch on in Bollington.

Palmerston Street somewhat resembled a river, there were reports of a man in a canoe causing traffic to be held up when he stalled it at the traffic lights..........

The brass band played on and narrowly avoided being drowned by water building up in their instruments.

A huge THANK YOU to all who turned out despite the downpour to support this important local event.
