	I don’t think smaller children are too worried about how or what they dress up in for the day…..think it is the parents that are more competitive :-0

	We went to a holiday camp one year when I was a kid. There was a Fancy Dress Comp. Mum made me a tutu out of crepe paper. Most of the kids then brought their costumes along with them. Hardly sporting was it? :-D :-D

	Belle There is a story about a Dipping Dragonfly, but nobody actually asked. The class teacher took a photo, but hopefully it won't be seen by too many :-0

	Ann Those were the days when your tangerine came wrapped in a tissue square with a coloured picture printed on it. I loved looking at all the pictures from far away lands :-)

	Sounds great Gwyn apart from the heat that is ;-) ;-) Most costumes here were bought as Facebook was awash with messages asking where they could buy them :-0 :-0 Shame :-(
