hhhmmmm, now Ive looked at the photos it seems it was better turn out than I thought. I was too busy to notice properley. The only downfall now is that the collection for Air-Ambulance was pi** poor, mostly my fault as didn't organise "tin rattlers" in time before most people headed off  If anyone is feeling a little generous please feel to pm me for my address to send any contributions, cheques made payable to Air-AmbulanceThank you  |

I'm sorry I wasn't there, it looks like fun - but I was camping in Normandy with my hubby - I do like to spend a little time with him now and then!

Took the collection tin to Air-Ambulance this morning, they are going to count it and send me receipt soon, I'll keep you informed. Yesterday we called in at The Plough, 1st time since the event, Landord asked me about doing it again next year! He also said that several donations were made into the pubs Air-Ambulance tin which sat on the bar and will be sent off seperately. Shall we or shant we?  ? If we do then I'll have to lay down a few "extra ground rules" as I wasnt 100% happy with the day, but then again I'm a grumpy old bugger  |

I may of arrived late but, I enjoyed what was left of the show....if its on again next year I will make sure I leave nice and early to get there, plus it now helps that I know where the pub is lol......I did throw some money in the bucket but best place would be at the pub door next year as everyone goes to grab a drink...Voodoo....

Every show has to start somewhere Pete. I admire you for even thinking of staging your own event. Don't think I'd have the guts to try it. If you didn't learn from each one & improve the next time things would very quickly stagnate. One comment I've heard was that more direction signs were needed on the day. We'll do our best to be at the next one. |

Yep, another one is in order, then another and another....... As the shows organiser, your entitled to run it the way you want, every show will have some degree of legislation or chaos would ensue. I may be misinturpretating your previous posts, but you seemed slightly dissapointed with the turn out? For the first 3 or 4 shows i`d just be happy that someone had turned up, dont aim too big too soon, and when the first thousand people turn up..........PANIC. It`s been advertised on this site, and presumably others?and its also now featured in the events section here, that will increase the footfall (should that be wheelfall) count for next year. Pat yourself on the back and dont think about it for a few weeks, then you can come back to it fully refreshed, just like any other project |
