Hi Fellas.
Right been down to Leighton hall and seen Suzie we are on for Sunday we will be set up on the main lawn in front of the main building to the left of the butress, this will if need be allow us to run a lead from the conservatory to charge tanks if needed? hopefully not though due to health and safety issues people tripping etc

the show starts at 10. a.m. so we need to be set up befor then! i will be there from 8.30 ish and any help with the security fence would be appreciated

i will also take a gazeebo down to keep the tanks dry for when it rains.
When you get there drive straight through the main gates across the cattle grid and park on the gravel to the left of the conseratory, yes i know the gravel, but when it comes to taking the tanks out of our vehicles we can simply reverse up to a small opening in the wall and you are straight onto grass, don't let them charge you for entry just tell them you are with me to exhibit the tanks and they will let you through, entry and exit is being run on a one way system so when you leave you will come out about a mile south of Silverdale level crossing. If anyone else has a gazeebo they would like to bring it may be handy or anything else you can think of. I have tried to find out as much information as possible but any questions you know where i am.
Richie. Don't worry about the grass! its ripped to bits now... same as it is every year.
All.
Although we will be set up on a gentle slope so the grass where we are should be better some waterproof footwear could be a good idea as if you want to have a look around its like a swamp in some places

See you all in the morning Paul
