'Twas the Day before Stoneleigh (again).......... |
The star of the Show arrived at half-past nine in the morning this year............ ............in plenty of time to get unloaded............ ............... whilst tables and chairs were being unloaded................ ............ by the demountable fork lift. John Orson & Bob Newton trying to work out what goes where! all ready to roll.................. . "Do you think we'll have to push it??" The loco being lowered gently by the tractor unit.................... PUSH, Bob!! With a little more help to get it over the poor joints............ ....... it made it in! "Quick - dismantle the ramp.............." ................ "and start polishing!" William and Marguerite discussing something or other with new Layouts Co-Ordinator Gerv Wright. It's useful to have a grown-up son - Richard & Jack Longley putting the Brandbright stand up. Derek Wiggins................... ........... furiously trying to get all the racking up before people start bringing their stuff! I suppose SOMEBODY had to do it........... . Squires Tools - all done and dust-sheeted. On Saturday morning, a cheerful greeting from a pair of chilled-out Stewards........... "I REALLY should've remembered to bring back the trophy I won last year, AND I should have filled in my MOTY form before this!" |
