Busy Weekend in Cheshire Ice Cream Land

Saturday saw the busiest day of the year for the whippy team. Firstly we attended the popular Marple carnival with our friends: mrwhippyicecream.co.uk which was a great success. The weather stayed fine for most of the day and many families had a fantastic day.

Next, pausing only for fuel and stock it was straight off to Poynton for the "Party in the Park" where we literally hit the ground running.

It was a fantastic evening and hundreds of people had a great night. A lot of effort must have gone into the event, congratulations to Poynton Rotary and James Burling who pulled a rabbit from the hat after being let down.

To wind down on Sunday, re-stock and thoroughly clean the van, we attended a small football event at Richmond Rovers in Hazel Grove where they were holding their  2013 Anglo-Dutch Football Tournament and once again the weather held and everyone had a great time.
At all of these events we were able to make a donation to great community or charitable causes.

Last but not least, back to Yew Tree on Monday as usual

Whipped around Poynton today

We started off at the top end by Waterloo Road and worked our way down Dickens Lane and Vernon Rd. A quick trip to the skatepark before a flying visit to Glastonbury. From here Mr Whippy came across Ben Jeffreys who is hoping to be an MP. Mr Whippy quizzed him and his team about his policies regarding free Ice Cream for kids. His best reply was that if all the kids voted for him, he would treat them to a 99.
Was this just political spin?? Mr Whippy will be watching.

Dry and Sunny in Poynton today

Another steady day for Mr Whippy. Served several new customers and several repeat customers. It is really one of the great things about selling Ice Cream, meeting and chatting to customers.
The look of delight on a child's face when they see the ice cream van can turn your worst day into a great day. It is infectious upon the adults too.
Grumpy Grandad soon cheers up if he treats the kids at the van and often ends up being tempted into a purchase.
 May the sun shine all summer!!
