Not sure, maybe it took a fancy to a lady duck. Sure must have been pulling some amps!

Many thanks to all who attended the show, sorry about the weather today, still it wasn't as cold or windy as Wickstead I understand. Thanks also to those who have posted pictures from the show. Got to get the calculator out now to see how much I can hand over to the charity.

Hi All
I would like to thank Alan for running this show for the last 15 years.
He is handing this over to others so I would like to wish him well and hope the new
organisers keep the show as it is because it is great.
We had a fantastic time.

Thanks for all your efforts Alan.

Derek, not forgetting my 3 amegos Paul and Dom and newby Lee

i can only add my thanks to alan and all the crew working 'behind the scenes' for all their hard work and organisational input to make this great show what it is- we always have a great time at alfold...

thanks to the ' mayhemmers' and our good friends who attended, and its great to have a pint or two and a good chat with like minded people....

looking forward to 2012 already - who ever is organising it !!!

Guy ,family and hamish the wee haggis

Hi Alan,
Its Monday morning, its raining and I still haven't unloaded! checking Mayhem to have a look at all of the good pictures, I think I missed most of them whilst dodging the hot sun on Saturday and rain on sunday.
Thank you once again for such a good show again!!! I have supported every one of the 15 shows at Sprinbox Estate, everyone of these shows has been A1 for organisation, a lot of the other shows including the major ones could learn a lot from your organising, friendship and just being there when needed. Some organisers don't actually turn up at the shows.
So if you add you and the rest of your marvellous helpers both before - during and at the end of the show together especially Wendy and Sarah - you have the best run show in the UK. The Sprinbox management do have an uphill job to try and emulate you next year.
To anyone reading this please don't think I am being sugary - I am not, just commentating on one of the many, many shows that we attend over the year at venues all over the UK.

Hi Alan,
Excellent event again, cheers for all your work in the past and over the last weekend. The Display Team loved it, great venue and a great atmosphere amongst all those who were there. However, upon arriving home after a drive up hill and down dale, I felt just a little bit...."comfortably numb"!!
Good luck in the future, will see you next year.

To Alan and the team, yet another great weekend thanks for all your hard work, look forward to the next one.

Phil LEBS.

Looks like a good weekend had by all, great photos too. Wish I could have got down, hopefully next year, Dave.

alan colson · « **Reply #47 on:** June 06, 2011, 07:23:14 pm »

Money raised for CHARITY at this years show is in excess of £3300

Thanks to all.
Alan

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #48 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:09:57 pm »

Well done to Alan and all, and what a great amount raised

I had a great weekend, and even a little rain on the Sunday didn't seem to put the dampers (sic) on the event.
Great to catch up with friends again, I even managed time for a little chat (

) about steam........
I look forward to next years and can only hope that the chaps taking over do as well.

Corposant · « **Reply #49 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:38:46 pm »

Great result! May I add my congratulations to Alan and all who helped - well worth all the hard work.

I was only there on Sunday afternoon - in the rain! - but really enjoyed it. As always, the show had a great atmosphere.

Mike
