It was a success for the community and there is much talk and desires for it to be repeated again next year. We have all learnt a huge amount during the process.
The Domino Toppling started first thing in the morning - it took all day.
Doons tacking white paper strips onto palettes to give the idea of 'dominos', black and white. As this happening turned out in the end, this was not necessary.
In the meantime a 100 balloons were being blown up in two houses.

Then the Domino Toppling.
We put them in piles of 10 on the road.
Stood them up - they fell downSo, we tried them like this......
They all toppled and fell...So we lay them like this...
And an even better plan developed - each palette had to be held up by a community member and everyone ran after them - the toppling was noisy and created an exciting although slightly dangerous energy.

The Sportsforum who had initially given us such a hard time, were fantastic in their support and organisation. They took over the running of the actual playing of dominos.
The registration table was packed all afternoon.
