My thank you list :winky:
First of all my thanks go to David Crouch of Toyota GB for his help and support on my first large event organisation, to Nick Heels of Property Services for the F1 Simulator, to Mike Tasker of MSL for the hospitality suite and excellent cover for Anne’s Celica (one of the perks for being the first on stand for the set up)
It was a real shame about “Toyota Village”, the frantic phone calls to all involved the day before set up were unfortunately in vain but hats off to them for making the hospitality suite available at such short notice.
A huge thanks goes to Janey for her organisation, help and support - especially with the cash collection from you tight-wad Locers………(kidding guys). Because my biggest worry was that the curry night would end up with wrong/missed orders (well done Hot n Spice for getting it right). Thank you to all that survived my bbq. Getting hundreds of pounds worth of meat, stuffing it into our freezer n fridges, then worrying that enough was ordered……well this was a bit daunting! Thank you to the Tocers who saved my sanity with their help and support, Caroline (my bbq extraordinaire assistant), ALL the Loc/Toc moderators attending, as well as the Loc/Toc members who helped with my erections! (gazebos).
Thank you to boss man Steve for getting us that fantastic gas BBQ (It worked a treat), the trophies, the gazebo’s, loads of other stuff I can’t remember and the 100,000 mile round trip journey to deliver and collect it all.
My biggest thanks of all goes to my wife Anne, for putting up with my constant mood swings during the months taken organising the event……Thank you sweetheart…
Thank you to all the hardy members of both Toc & Loc who travelled far and wide braving the less than clement weather to attend JAE 2007
