    The trouble is that floats are expensive to provide. At one time there were plenty of big businesses locally that could stand the cost. Sadly, we have very few businesses these days that are big enough, or flush enough with cash that are willing to put something back into the community.

    I can't believe businesses won't dip into their pockets to spare a bit of cash to sponsor this event: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/...port-1-8421871

    It's a sign of the times Lex. Despite what we're being told by the media, many companies are struggling.

    Maybe the supermarkets with their 5p plastic bag tax ought be asked? - Though I think generally they prefer to be seen to be giving to high profile charities for the sake of their own images.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    Looks like they've scraped the cash together for this year: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/...rrow-1-8566632

    Next year could be a different story, though.
