What a cracking doo
I really enjoyed helping, it was an honour to do so along side so many hard working volounteers
The night was really topped off by the fantastic company around the fire
Now after 3 we will countdown from 10
Roll on next year _________________ |

A massive thanks to Markymoan & Anne for their efforts throughout the day & for assisting with videography & selling food etc in the evening.
And a big thanks to Spike who also did a load of tidying/litter collections & firewatching/poking/prodding & general burning things.
& both for a cracking night on the post event security watch, good fun was had by all
The event was ace, but I am now a walking zombie, after a 9.30am start Friday, working through till 10pm, and then Saturday was 9.15am through till 4 am this morning & then 7.30am til 4pm today.
As soon as we get all the pics in, Chris will put them on the website & we'll let you all know to see what you missed.
Gary - good to meet you fella, glad you could make it & sorry about the post code
Here are afew pics of the event, I'll leave them in PB as they are quite big & I don't really want to slow the forum up.
My Little Fire (2/3s it's normal size)
Snappy the Croc (& Scooby Doo?)
One of the Fireworks
Cheers again guys, I think I need to go and die in a chair now |

No need to thank us Col, we should be thanking you and the rest of the team for all the planning time and effort that you put into it every year for the scouts
Ps. they trusted me with a big shiny tailer

Tbh, we was quite lucky, whoever donated one of the suits for the fire had dowsed it in diesel, we found out when we threw it on the fire _________________ |

MASSIVE thanks to Marky for running round collecting the timber etc, THE QUIET ONE for security watch and Gary820 for turning up and supporting the event.
The whole event was seamless and as far as we can tell has given a good return for the Scouts.
