Our annual Duck Race event were totally scuppered due to this mangy virus but we’ve bin busy handing out our reserves o’ treasure to ‘elp to fight the varmint.

Our coffers were near empty o’ booty now so we was askin’ them yokels t’ ‘elp us raise a few more doubloons. They charities need we more than ever.

'Twere all ‘ands on deck from Sun. 13th Sept to Sat. 19th Sept when our good ship The Margaret Anne raised the Jolly Roger and under the notorious Captain Chill and set sail around the streets of Bramhall, hoping that the good citizens would fill our treasure chests with gold for us to pass on to those who need it most.

The crew, the scurvy dogs, 'ad swabbed the decks and were sure to keep their distance from any landlubbers on pain of walking the plank and paying a visit to Davy Jones’s Locker.

Now, we bin studyin’ t'likenesses of them pesky piratcrows skulking around our village.
Some as was ‘ere ‘ad already set sail for far off lands but never fear we caught them’s likenesses afore them raised anchor. Some‘ve only just come into port ‘avin’ ‘eard what a fun place this be.

We d’aint ‘ad so many entrants from them local shops to our scarecrow competition this year but them ‘as was all bin truly amazin’. Thank ‘e all kindly for goin’ the extra mile an supportin’ we in this strange an’ disturbin’ year.

We made a stupendous haul 'o booty whilst we was ashore, fillin' our Treasure Chests wi' close on £3,000!! A fine amount to divvy up betwixt our three chosen charities:- Stockport Without Abuse, Pure Insight and SPARC.
