rosie Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 The cubed one is up there now helping to set out props etc, it's soooo hot and stuffy here now I recon a storm is brewing, hopefully it will blow over us and land the other side of the hill which often happens!!! Not sure if I'm going to make it up there between now and Friday, have children's after school clubs and staff meetings to attend!!! Why does work always get in the way of fun?! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?x0p2fq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just got back from site, arena marked out and barriered off other attendees now on site in there desired positions and making camp nicely. One FH70 155mm on site the other on its way in a few days time along with some other Artillery from somewhere else which should be a bit of a surprise, and a U.S. 155mm Howitzer and 105mm Howitzer on their way. Not much else to say no real need for pics as not much has changed from the last pics I posted last night. Stay tuned it should be hotting up in the next couple of days, more pics will follow.

rosie Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 News from the show-ground today Lots of vehicles arrived today, apparently there is around 100 in place already. Hubby and my dad have been busy helping get things sorted. Everything has gone smoothly (apart from The cubed one trying to start his petrol genny using diesel :wow:) All ready for the first day open to public tomorrow. I'm nearly all packed and organised for zooming up there after work! After I have sorted a jubilee party for 40 nursery children in the afternoon that is!! Currently painting my nails red, white and blue!!!!!!!!!! For those who are coming, hope to bump into at some point :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Has cooled to very comfortable round here now. Rain forcast in places, but seems to be very patchy. Yesterday it bucketed down three miles away, I saw a couple of minutes of drizzle and slippery roads, twenty minutes later all bone dry.

Yesterday it bucketed down three miles away, I saw a couple of minutes of drizzle and slippery roads, twenty minutes later all bone dry. we had rain forecast here today (less than 20 miles from the show ground) seen a very small sprinkling of a shower, its still warm although sea breeze can bring a chill. Weather forecast for the weekend looks good, maybe a chance of a shower on Sunday (helps to settle the dust!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Daft thing is a bit of a brezze with a slight overcast is more likley to bring the punters than red hot and can't be bothered. Good luck! I'm stuck working apart from Sunday and Monday, then I'll be playing with Katy. :banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
