What's Your Story Chorley?

Lovely day in Chorley yesterday. The sun shone, the town was alive with people enjoying all the events. I enjoyed watching the dancing and following the bench trail. Well done to all the children involved.
Congratulations to all the contributors  who performed and presented, making it a great day for all, and to all those behind the scenes who gave their time and effort.
