The Follow Your Dreams charity roadshow has come to the Harvey Centre, complete with founder Martin Harris, pirate hats, pirate swords, pirate guns, pirate sashes and pirate treasure chests. Call me prescient, but I'm guessing this is something to do with pirates.
Pupils from Oak View special school in Loughton are there, and each - adorned with skull and crossbones hat or sash and twirling their weapon of choice - takes it in turn to stand on a 'treasure chest' soap box and tell a joke or sing a song, in full view of passers-by. The event has been sponsored by the Park Inn hotel, and in addition to the goings-on from the soap box, there's a big tombola with lots of prizes - with the money raised going to support children with special needs.
I've come directly from two back-to-back school assemblies and I'm off to a meeting at half past eleven, so I can't stay long, but the fun is still in full swing as I leave.
