I'm sure Dave and the other Trustees will post here when they've recovered but in the meantime we would like to say a very big thank you to:
everyone who came to the show - If you came to the show for the first time I hope you enjoyed it, if you came again we hope you (like us) thought it was the best yet.
everyone who helped yesterday - too many to mention
everyone who helped on Saturday - too many to mention
everyone who helped in recent weeks as stress levels rose and jobs needed doing
everyone who helped in the last 8 months to plan, administer and complete the endless lists of tasks on the list
People's commitment yesterday was outstanding, I had to leave for a while during the day and when I got back at 4 the ground was still so busy, the sun was still shining and faces, although tired, were still smiling. Just can't thank you all enough.
An event of this scale and quality doesn't just magically happen even if we have 'done it all before'. This years event would not have happened at all if Dave Peacock hadn't put in the hundreds of hours he did to plan it and bring it all together, no mean feat when you have a very demanding day job and numerous family commitments (and a demanding wife ;))
I'd like to make a very special mention of our friends George and Margaret who came down from Ayr to help again for the 4th year. George is an amazing man, completely tireless, does anything he's asked without complaint or argument so hard working. All this despite being really quite unwell for the last 4 years. We hope very much he'll be helping at the 7th GW Show.

Only joking.
