I was so thrilled and pleased to have lead the commemorative walk, talk and stand jump finale on Joseph Darby's 160th birthday in his home town of Netherton in Dudley. Everyone was so kind and good humoured and I was very pleased to end the event with a stand jump competition in Netherton park in which Tom Rourke (of Smethwick) came first with a respectable 6'8" Stand Jump followed closely by Barat Patel (of Netherton) and Laurence Hipkiss (of Rowley Regis). I want to also give my appreciative thanks to Ivan Turner for the photos, the Deputy Mayor of Dudley - Cllr Sue Greenaway - for attending and giving out the medals and local Netherton Cllr, Damian Corfield for attending too. I was also pleased to be joined by some new friends from Netherton and members of the Thimbleweed Choir. More fun and games with Joseph Darby beckons - news of which I look forward to sharing with readers as soon as possible. #spiritofjosephdarby160
