Calls for business teams to give Garstang's Colour Dash a go
Vincents Solicitors, based in Rope Walk, are entering a team into April’s Colour Dash, hoping that other local firms will follow suite.
Several businesses in the town and the local Rotary Club will be out in force on Sunday, April 22, helping to pelt runners with powder at the colour stations and marshal the route.

Head of Vincents Garstang, Lisa Lodge, is already training ahead of the 5km fun run.
Lisa said: “This is going to be an amazing event for the whole community to enjoy while raising money for a really good cause.
“What better opportunity to get involved than to enter as a team and work together to bring in as much sponsorship money as possible.

“Obviously it’s all just for fun, but it would be really fantastic for the businesses of this town to really pull out all of the stops to support this great event.”
Lisa is holding a coffee morning briefing for local businesses and members of the public to come along and hear more about the Colour Dash event, and the work of St John’s Hospice from fundraiser manager Jo Humphrey.
Jo said: “It would be incredible to see this supplemented with teams from the different shops, offices and other companies, coming together in friendly competition.”
The coffee morning is being held at the Garstang Booths coffee shop on Friday at 11am.
