in the dim-but-not-so-distant past of 2003 there were not many opportunities for parading. rotc played a lot of samba, but the opportunities for performance were often ones we made ourselves. the lord mayor’s show, with its historic and not-ever-so-slightly military overtones, we have learnt over the years, whilst seeming like a great opportunity was more of a run than an amble. note the gold lamé costumes. they were generously given to us by charles and julieta sometime after the event. visit mandinga’s photo gallery for more of a flavour.
