Putting their best foot forward, Dannevirke's Ruahine Ramblerz leisure marching team are ready to lead more than 190 marchers down High St at the head of our Christmas parade.
The Ramblerz are hosting a display day on December 3 which co-incides with the Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade. And with 21 teams and 195 marchers in town, leading the parade is a well deserved honour Suresh Patel, of the Christmas parade committee, said.
For Ruahine Ramblerz life member, Marjory Johnson, leisure marching is all about fun, fitness and friendship.
Marjory was a member of the Body Works Vikings which began in 1992, before becoming the Dannevirke Vikings and then the Ruahine Ramblerz in 2008.
"We're non-competitive," Marjory said.
