Congratulations to the organisers of this years Prestwich Clough Day, for another great event.

This years event was bigger and better than ever, taking up virtually all of St.Mary’s Flower park. And (for once) it stayed dry!

With several thousand visitors it is clearly a major local attraction now and going from strength to strength.

I always find it particularly satisfying to see so many young children enjoying tradition crafts and activities. I have never seen so many people watch a display of owls before, and then there was the screams and shouts from the youngsters watching the punch and judy.

But as ever it was an event for everyone from 9 to 90, here’s to Clough Day 2011!
