Seeing spots: Schools and businesses Go Dotty for Demelza

We were all seeing spots on Friday when the first Demelza Go Dotty day took place.

Demelza House in Sittingbourne led the way with staff wearing polka dot, the reception desk was covered in red and white and one of the cars was even given a spotty makeover.

Businesses and schools across the area were among those who also took part.

In South East London staff at London and Quadrant Housing in Sidcup paid to dress down or wearing something dotty, Demelza merchandise was on sale and there was a raffle to win prizes such as tickets to Lapland UK.

Workers at RCS cleaning company in Lewisham and Romax printing company in Greenwich were also seeing spots with staff digging out their best polka dot numbers.

• If you like the look of this and want to take part by going dotty, Eltham High Street is getting in on the action on November 21.

Businesses in the high street will be decorating their shops and staff will be wearing polka dot.

There will be a marquee in Passey Place and The Mardi Gras Strolling Jazz Band will be entertaining the crowds from noon to 3pm.
