May Merrie Kingston in 2013
For many years Kingston celebrated May Day with the May Merrie event, an event involving local community groups and schools.
This year it was replaced with a “create in Kingston” event.
What a shambles.
No traditional events, no information, no programme.
It was an absolute fiasco – and how much was paid to the events management company for this non-event?
I came down to Kingston to enjoy a relaxed afternoon – but soon departed when I discovered there was no event, just a few commercial stalls.
Even the KingstonFirst staff were embarrassed with the poor quality of information they could give to the public.
