'If you wish to be a part of this great endeavour, step forward and book your space. We’ve seen the parade grow and grow over the years and even Covid didn’t stop it.'
The popular carnival-type procession, which brings thousands of people out onto the streets, will be held this year on December 3.
Jonathan Jones, who organises the parade on behalf of Borderland Rotary Club, said:"There have been lots of meetings behind the scenes to get the route sorted and the roads closed so that the parade, which brings joy to so many, can go ahead. "In fact, I think it came back stronger and let’s hope it can, once again, cheer Oswestry and get everyone in the mood for Christmas.”
"The parade continued when the army left town but by the late 90s it seemed to be going downhill with fewer and fewer floats taking part," Mr Jones said.
