History
of Hobby - When and where did you start and how did you arrive where
you are to-day?
How long
have you been involved with War & Peace and in what capacity?
|
I started in
1989 as Rex's PA when he was Events Secretary for the IMPS and have
helped to organise the War and Peace Show ever since!
These days,
I'm still responsible for all the booking in, and it's a year-round
task - I make sure that all the entries are in and all the packs
go out, and then I'm at the Showground for about a month - from
at least three weeks before it starts, setting up and then booking
in all the stalls and overseeing the booking in of the seemingly
endless stream of over 3,000 vehicles, from Parabikes to the odd
Sherman tank, the living history displays, the modellers, the campers
and then selling Herb Miller tickets in my spare time (!!!). Up
at all hours, I have a team of fabulous volunteer helpers who share
the strain... including - Nick & Carena Crowhurst, Mudge, and
many others, including our roving troubleshooter, Paul
Shea... Sometimes, I even get to relax a bit, and you can find
me propping up the bar in Ginger Gammon's Beer Tent with a whisky
or two... all offers of drinks appreciated!!
This year,
with a bit of luck, I might even find the time to take a turn in
my Jeep around the arena, and maybe have a go at the Jeep See-saw-
who knows?!!
See you at
the show!
