Can I just add (as a trader) my personal thanks - and I will be writing to the school - for the help of the ground staff of the school?

It must have hurt them considerably to see the ground being churned up by vehicles. All they ever did was do their best to help. "We want to see it go ahead" said one of them.

The reason for this was because apparently we are less trouble than the 4,000 Baptists they are expecting next.

Thanks to those who came to visit the stall, browsed, chatted, bought books, made coffee for me, brought ginger beer, strawberries and even those who practised their melodeon. Let me re-phrase that - especially those who practised their melodeon.
