Lost and found

First of all, a big thankyou to everyone who came to Carnival last weekend to make it the great event it was - and also to the volunteers, performers, bands and DJs who made it all happen. An enormous amount of unseen effort goes in behind the scenes...
Lost: one mirror, about 24 x 18 inches with a mosaic surround, originally intended for the changing area. It vanished early on in the event and we had to replace it, but since it's a handmade piece of sentimental value, if anyone picked it up its return would be appreciated.
