Hey folks,
I'm still vegetating at the moment, but I thought I'd give me thanks thread a go.
First and foremost is Keefy with who the show is jointly organised. I get to make sure cars and people and all that good stuff are there, Keith makes sure the place we're going to is equipped to take them. Alongside that you can thank Keith for the awesome food selection, which was much harder this year due to the bank holiday weekend, but he didn't just throw his hands up and provide a bunch of cheap burgers, instead he worked and got us another great line up, which I hope you all appreciated.
Second up will be bstardchild without whom you'd have no track action. Organisation wise we've got better each year and this year's track preview threads were brilliant. During set up he also worked tirelessly to help get the site all sorted.
Tash (and family) for sorting sign on booth, helping set up and keeping Keith pretty much sane.
gewy the other half of the paddock crew, another tireless worker who along with his family are part of the set up for the whole event and manage to fill the gaps where the rest of us run out of time.
Next up are the three people without whom the show this year wouldn't have gone anywhere near as smoothly HARDCORE 6P and Robinxr4i after last year's problematic set up we wanted to get going early, and boy did we knock it out the park. These three along with the previous regular crew got the show field complete in a day, they also picked up a bunch of other heavy lifting. With Dan and Andy sticking around to help with the clean up.
(the ridiculously photogenic)Jody and Clare are a great part of our crew helping out during set up, being part of our show family for the last few years, it is great to see them every time and the show field this year wouldn't have run as smoothly without Jody there for guidance purposes. Add to that Rob who stepped in and helped with set up and doing the show/club field.
rmad had been my right hand man on this forum for years and at the show he sorted out us some audio at the last minute. He is also on the judging crew that we wander the field with, alongside Andy and Dan this year. It is one of my favourite bits of the show.
Beyond that I have to thank our security team, all the staff at Shelsley, particularly the hill and start line marshaling team that accommodate us and our strange little event.
All the club organisers that took the time to get cars together to the event.
All the people that took to the hill.
All the guests.
All the traders.
All the people that bought cars, or came for the day in their modern car.
I think that covers all of the thanks.
Oh no... my wonderful wife who puts up with me for the ten months or so I spend actively organising the event, who helps sort the tickets out, who then comes along and runs our merch stall along with my sister-in-law Alice.
I'm sure I've forgotten people.
Oh and I got some photos at the end of the day, so I shall share them once I've processed them
