First of all thanks to everyone who came and supported the club at Calne yesterday. It's always great to see a real buzz around our stand!

We raised £64 yesterday which goes towards the running of the club - well under half that we've managed in previous years but having spoken to most of the traders takings we're down across the board, and times are tough so thanks to everyone who made a donation or played the games :)

And now for the winners!

The win the sweets competition was one by a passer-by who, despite saying he was on his way, didn't ever collect them! The next closest was our very own Bonnielass, so Rosie - I will get the sweets to you ASAP :)
The number of sweets was 183!

The "what is it" competition was won by 470four who correctly guessed every single item! Obviously a complete bike-bit nerd mate, well done! Will PM you about your prize, which is a WB tshirt

Thanks to Colin for creating and marking the quiz!

Was a good day out, even being sat in my gazebo all day. Non stop sound of bikes going past, talking to people about bikes and bike stuff. Still made a loss (always do at these things, pitch fees are extortionate), but it was better than staying at home.

Hope you are going to publish the pics & identity of the bike parts as several were beyond us! :-[

Colin / Beamer (Pants-on-head):

Competition two - post pics of the parts / tools labeled A,B,C,D etc, also the answers in random order labeled 1,2,3,4,5 etc

Object is to match the tools/parts to the answers?

First correct answer wins a litre of tartan paint / a left-hand threaded screwdriver.

Never one to turn down a pint :P Hopefully I'll get Hazel signed up for her test before the end of the summer too, think she's just deciding whether to do the 125 one or the bigger one at the mo!
