One of our major activities during the year is helping to setup the car parks and pay station for the Alresford Show, and then on the day of the show to provide safety stewards and managing the carparks.
A week or so before the actual day of the show we spend a day or so bashing in posts and attaching loads of Netlon round the carparks and walkways.
We did say we used lots of Netlon didn’t we?
On the day itself we rolled up at around 6:30 and started the long day of helping the public and exhibitors to park and safely spend, what we hope, was a very nice day at the show.
This year was no exception, although the weather didn’t really help us very much!
But whatever the weather we try our hardest to keep smiling and helping to keep everyone safe throughout the long day.
But once the day is over, around 12 hours later, we try and just have a bit of down time.
Obviously, this might just involve the odd pint!
We’re sure that you’ll all agree that even with the ‘not ideal’ weather, the show was still a rousing success. Let’s just hope that next years is a little bit warmer, and a whole lot less muddy!
We know that we probably shouldn’t’ be using the “C” word this early in the year, but that’s the next big job in the diary for The Pigs – helping with the Christmas trees and the arrival of Father Christmas (there we’ve said it). It really won’t be long before The Pigs, and the Chamber of Commerce, will be seen clambering up ladders once again. Let’s just hope the weather is nice to us this year when we are out decorating the town.
