It was a really good day with even the weather behaving itself so BALI members were all able to 'strip' off to show the wonderful T Shirts organised by Colin Bennett - which, with small donations over the actual price, has actually made money for BALI!
We gathered on Parliament Square to be photographed by both Meridian TV and others including some very interested passers by, and with the wonderful backdrop of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
BALI Chairman, Nick Hollington was interviewed by Meridian, and we were then joined by Greg Barker, our very supportive MP, who wasn't averse to holding a placard saying 'Don't dump on Bexhill'.
Greg was also interviewed by Meridian, but sadly we were only given about a 10 second slot on Saturday evening!
After all the excitement, BALI took a tour of the Houses of Parliament, which was fantastic - so much history and so much to see, with both the Lords and Commons chambers seeming very much smaller than they appear on TV - An incredible experience.
Thanks to all who came and really helped to get over the message - and as the youngest present, Alexandra said it was the best school trip ever!
