Riding the streets in the early evening, fixing up my campaign posters with an 'authorised by' addition when I met Gerry Ford preparing to lead the Stags support crew on their traditional march of support to the grounds for the evening's game. Gerry invited me to ride with the parade and I was keen - until the thunderstorm caught me! What a downpour, sudden and forceful, with hail thrown it for effect!
I got drenched.
The light was so poor, I had to head back out to Waikiwi before it got too dark and I missed the parade.Thanks to those who tooted and made encouraging signs.
Probably thinking, 'not enough sense to get out of the rain'!I wonder if the Stag's supporters got wet? Tim Shadbolt was to have been there too, in his open top car!
But those clouds prior to the deluge - they were something else!
