We thought we had planned to arrive early enough to get a good pitch, but many were there before us. Plenty of space, and a good display thanks to plants from Cherry and Garry, banners from Harriet and crafts from Sue and friends.

John did a great job transporting the gazeebo, plants and and other hardware, though due to a mix up from the dry run, some of the poles were missing left behind. There were frantic calls, and Gary eventually appeared with the missing pieces.

Harriet spent much of the afternoon busy making Mors Bags, (http://www.morsbags.com/), exchanging one for a cup cake, and getting some to make their own.

Aside from drinking beer, Gary Andy and Ian engaged the occasional passer by in conversation, and we had some interesting conversations, including one with a mum, just off a Skype link with her son in India, keen on ideas for him to prepare a lesson for teaching engineering tomorrow.

Interest was quality rather than quantity, but it was a sociable event.
