I think Dabz is being entirely realistic because unlike many others he has an idea about what's involved and after all the Rotary and Lion haven't managed it so we know it's not a piece of cake because unlike some ill-informed opinions they don't actually just turn up on the day.
I hope the new volunteers are successful but turning down Bowood means there is now a risk of the event not going ahead at all.

It's only arranging (around a normal working day):-
About 40 marshalls with fetching jackets
Music licence
Health and safety
Catering
Liason with the district council, town council & police
Camping
Cleaning up after the event
Plus umpteen more things I may have missed
EASY ;D NOT

Could do it in Trowbridge?
We walked through Trowbridge Saturday and expected tumble weed to blow past us
I can see bikes up through the town centre and through the centre of the Shires.

Well I just had a very nice chat with councillor Howard Marshall, expect an announcement Thursday time about commitee forming and further planning, the councils it would seem are not so opposed to the event, and I was right, Bowood were charging the Lions an extortionate amount for the "field to hold it on".
As I had said previously it would not have been a charitable event, some proceeds would have found their way to worthy causes whilst others and I appreciate operating costs are part of an "organised event" would have been swallowed up by profiteers.

Did anyone on here go to the meeting last Thursday and have anything to report?

That would be great, but I can't see our muppets agreeing to it! :-XOriginally Posted by Kevinb
