Wrinkle Rock, Oakham Bandstand, Cutts Close, Oakham Town Council, Cllr Lucas Bring a Bottle and Party



Wrinkle Rock, Oakham Bandstand, Cutts Close, Oakham Town Council,
Cllr Lucas Bring a Bottle and Party

An invitation that should not be ignored, at a past performance of Wrinkle
Rock I photographed Cllr Lucas then mayor and other Councillors,
not under the influence of wine and the result was highly amusing. So I am
looking forward to capturing the outcome of this "party"

The local tax payer who will pay the local group £400, for the benefit of
Town Councillors past and present will I sure stay away, as is the norm
most weeks.

I and others believe if you took away the Council type and the groupies,
who come to support many a good performance, you maybe left with an
audience of four or five. Which is a great pity.



Cllr Lucas like so many other Town Councillors votes each year
to renew the above power to stop people drinking in public throughout Oakham
that includes their own parks.

Is Cllr Lucas becoming a little forgetful, has she taken up her doctors offer
of medication? Surely as each day passes she become less fit to be
a Councillor.

When I first heard her telling a former Mayor she would be bringing a few bottles
along to party, I thought she was joking, because she has a peculiar sense of
humour.

The former Mayor she was speaking rather loudly to, used to decant his beer into plastic cups,
he now swigs from the bottle openly in public, last week he proudly paraded into the park with a box of booze and a bottle of sparkling wine. I expect a mobile bar on the 22nd September at 2pm for Wrinkle Rocks performance.

I must point out I am not against the consumption of booze. I would be very happy to take my own bottle along, I won't because I know how selective Leicestershire Police are when it comes to them asking people to tip away their drinks and don't feel I can risk the financial loss.

I also assume Cllr Lucas wont being voting to renew the booze ban when it comes up for
renewal?
