THERE are plenty of those treasured old jumpers gifted to us by a favourite relative or bought as a trendy addition to the wardrobe back in the ultra trendy 80s.
Thank goodness most never see the light of day these days – well hardly ever.
On Friday, the staff and volunteers of the Warwick Visitors Information Centre wore their hearts (or at least their bad-taste) on their sleeves for a good cause.
VIC co-ordinator Amy Walker said the day was a lot of fun and brightened the staff’s day and hopefully those around them.
She said the event “Daggy Jumper Day” was in aid of youth homelessness, but was also timely ahead of next month’s Jumpers and Jazz in July.
“It was a bit daggy but all for a good cause,” Amy said.
“We saw it as an opportunity to have a bit of fun.”
It was also a good chance to drag out those old favourites Amy admitted – and a few certainly found their way from the back of wardrobes across Warwick on the day including Tourism boss Tracy Vellacott’s Elvis and volunteer Gary who went the whole hog teaming his daggy knitwear with some other old favourites to be the ultimate in “daggy country gentlemen”.
