Organiser's Comments

At the end of a sunny day the organiser was seen disappearing in a cloud of blue smoke! Was this magic? No, simply the exhaust from his old van! The real magic was how superbly all the Wrekin helpers did their jobs.

As we had Pete Jone's very good map from our last Springtime in Shropshire for which we got many favourable comments, we decided to use the area again, but from the opposite side. This involved many visits and writing of letters by our able negotiator Colin Roscoe who also masterminded the critical parking arrangements. Sandra counted in around 90 cars, which with the caravan, toilets etc took up the whole of the available space. With the weather in mind, Tony had a sheltered start area, probably the only available one on the map. He, Derek and Noreen battled the wet weather and gathering gloom on Saturday night putting out stakes, then it was up early with everyone pulling more than their weight to deliver a good event, including fun for youngsters (and string winders!) on the String Course. Thank you all.
