Found 5 1/2 feet tall inflatable monkeys on Ebay for 17 quid!
Wonder if they could be tethered to the ground & made to hold the banners?

How about 5 6 foot tall palm trees for 50 quid?
Wonder how you'd hold them in place? Some of the ads say the base has a trough you can fill with water. Strong enough to hold a banner strung between 2 of 'em? Could tie them to a wooden stake I guess.

I quite like those!

Or these. 6 foot cut outs, printed both sides. Tenner each. Attached with a staple gun to a 4 foot wooden stake?
2 for each banner & one each side of the marquee entrance?

Yup, we always say, unfinished projects more than welcome. The punters seem to like seeing the "behind the scenes" bit of custom building.

C'mon guys. It's gonna be a very small pitch this year if we don't get some more vehicles. Unfinished projects more than welcome.

That should fill some space!

If someone has a trailer I could bring half a 1968 Mustang too!

I like the inflatable monkey! He could be put on a bike/trike!

Well done chaps. I think we're still a bit early for the entry forms, but nothing wrong with a bit of forward planning.
Mike, I'm kinda hoping the Charger will be sold by then. If not ...well, if you've got a big enough trailer... Grin
