We made our way from our hotel to the Hard Interchange in Portsmouth city centre, where we met with Ashley Morgan and Shane Dickson our travelling companions for the day, and Pam Fry.

The journey to Southampton was uneventful but bumpy. Upon arrival we made our to Guildhall Square after stopping briefly for refreshments.

At Guildhall Square we met with Councillors Paul Lewsey , Dave Sanders and Warwick Payne. We spent some time in conversation with them and we felt confident of their support for efforts to get Southampton City Council to adopt Our Charter.

The fun bus arrived and after some discussion we were shown where we might park it and then children were allowed on to enjoy the play area.

We were then entertained by Liberty Pride Cheerleaders who gave a delightful display of cheerleading and then happily distributed leaflets to onlookers around the ?square.

Thanks to all the volunteers ?and MNDA staff who came along, thanks to Liberty Pride Cheerleaders, thanks to the Funbus, thanks to the councillors and finally huge thanks to everyone who generously donated.
