Rainbows Are 21!

Nearly 3000 Rainbows from all over The Midlands Region gathered at Twinlakes in Leicestershire for their 21st Birthday party.

On arrival they were greeted by fairies who sprinkled them with magic dust to ensure that they would have a truly magical experience. The photos which can be seen here are proof that the magic dust worked!
