Sheffield Show 2006

Happily this years show had none of the problems of last
year. Security was very obvious and effective and the timing
of the arena displays was very swish!!.

The display ran well - even with the lack of numbers - nothing else said on this subject!!. We were - yet again in
the prime area for our display - right next to the arena and
the first for the public to see. The weather god was kind to
us!! - we only had a couple of showers over the whole
weekend.

The attendance for the show exceeded expectations - over
twenty five thousand through the doors and the enthusiasm was fabulous. Due to the helpful attitude of the Roman group we
were camped next to - we managed to put ourselves into an arena display - which pleased Howard Giles ( and probably means we will get paid!!)

As usual Howard sang the praises of the Association ( this
gets embarrassing at times!!) And leading the parade is always a "trip" especially one as large and well organised as this
one was. No long waits - everything run smooth and snappy by Event Plan.

A HUGE thank you to Darren, Sarah, Debbie and Christie - who travelled half way across England - twice to make sure she attended!! it was a pleasure working with you. -

It will be a shame that this show will probably not be
attended by the Association next year - I personally think
its a great loss.
