So as promised I visited the Lord Mayors show in the city centre today, my first real trip as roving reporter for Rummagin.
The first thing I came across was an open air concert with good old deck chairs laid out. Bev Bevan was there performing. In case anyone doesn't know he was the drummer in The Move and ELO (and if you've never heard of either of these I suggest you google them) he's from Sparkhill Birmingham and currently has a show on BBC Radio WM.

Most of the scheduled events focused on the kids, the best thing I saw was the "Mad Science" demonstration in the main marquee.
I also discovered the Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations Travelling Funfair over at the Bullring. I observed wacky games, a touch of circus style spectacle and plenty of free chocolate being given out to those who dared enter.
One thing no one can argue with we are the city of chocolate!!!
