  1. Well to be politically correct or not, I have to agree with Adrian on this one... Are my ears disceiving me? Is there contention over a cancelled or postponed Ramsbury convoy? This sums up one important factor...people's interpretation. Well, having been within earshot of Clive when he received the early morning phone call stating; the public day convoy had been cancelled, the public carpark had been closed and radio announcements were going out to the public, need I say more. Clive clearly shocked at such inconceiveable news, repeated the message out loud. Needless to say he skipped into action, missed his morning fry-up to rally support for a re-schedule. Clive; born organiser, ever the diplomat and deeply passionate for the cause, does deserve some credit as without him, many of us well know that the convoy would not have taken place. Even though it was not exact per the original format, it was as close to Keith's vision as could be...British vehicles taking up the lead...Keith did thank Clive, off the microphone, whilst Clive participated in some MV driving to gain some momentum in the lead up to the Grand Finale, the C47 and parachute drops..."Thanks mate, I really appreciate it" I heard Keith say, I know that came from the bottom of Keith's exhausted boots! Thankfully, the event was a huge success and a great time was had by all...luck prevailed and some very sporting public in some very muddy conditions! Thanks go to all the New Kennet Valley MVT committee, the foot soldiers who did not have time to enjoy the event themselves; David and Wendy Stevens, Paul Gannaway and Theresa Soley, sorry for not getting a cup of tea over to you! School visits; Jonathan Catton, Tracey and Keith Brigstock (Multi-tasker of the event). Road runs; Ed Abbott, Clive and the boyz on the bikes! Neil Stevens and Roger Day for the Memorial Hall museum (sorry I didn't make it but the kids did!) and any that I have failed to mention. Finally a sincere thanks go to Clive for giving up his vast supply of event paperwork to Keith and his blessing for using the "Gathering of Eagles"...whilst having his home roof dismantled and working on the pitter patter of a baby Stevens...congratulations Clive and Suzanne! Great start to 2008 season, very well done everyone! :tup:: The Benham family and team (written by Andrea and not approved by Phil...ouch!)
