Busy Busy Busy - Shows take a lot of effort

[Muddy Funkster]

Hi All,

Looking forward to seeing you all at the show.

I am looking forward to the holiday myself, you wont believe how much organizing that goes on behind the scenes.

Health and Safety...Health and Safety...Health and Safety...Risk Assessments...Forms....Disclaimers....We even needed permission to "Penetrate the ground in any way"

That will explain why EOC didn't use any tent pegs on their marque ;D ;D ;D
