Got back at 7.30. I had an easy drive home, I left at 4.30(ish) after packing down the stand - thanks everyone who helped, especially Boyd and Bruce.
What a great weekend. After an easy set-up on Friday afternnon we retired to our little TC tent village for scoff and beer. Lots of people arrived over the course of a couple of hours. Attendess included:
Smudge
Alan S
Steve D
Trevor and Sue
Bruce
Gareth and Liz
Martyn Peters
The three musketeers from Northern Ireland
Furry John and Molly
Simon Morgan
Boyd
And I'm sure I've missed people out.
This weekend was done with the minimum of organisation and I have to say it was very relaxed. I set out the stand with a selection of photos on the back wall and a table top full of back issues to give away, The free mag thing worked a treat and (as an example) two members of the Vincent OC came back today to chat to us after reading our club mag(s) and promised to send in completed membership apps.
Yesterday, after a hard day of meeting and greeting, we again returned to our tents to eat, drink and watch a cricket match on the adjoining field. We did some spirited mexican waving and clapped in (mostly) the right places and after the match they inivited us over to thier club house. Marvellous stuff.
The show was very busy at times today, but all the TC guys did a superb job keeping our stand ticking over.
I'm bloody knackered now
Anyway, thanks to everyone who turned up, you made it a great weekend.
