During last week my timetable was something like this, Sunday Prestwich near Manchester, Monday London, Tuesday Cardiff, Wednesday Stockton On Tees, Thursday Stockton, Friday Wigan, Saturday London , Sunday Stockton. On top of this we also had events at Durham, Blyth, Keighley and Worksop. After the Sunday we had a few days breather then starting on Thursday we are at two venues in London and simultaneously Durham, then Leeds, London, Ingelston, Leyland and Durham on the same day followed by an RAF base in the North East, followed by Newcastle and Durham on the Sunday! I personally have drove over two thousand miles in less than a week, and look set to repeat the feat in the next round of events.
At the second of our London events last week I was in Hampstead high street for a Christmas light switch on. The celebrity doing the turn on was the Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. Up close he looked just as rough as he does in the newspaper photos. I should imagine after his forthcoming divorce is finalised he will look a damn site sicker. Arthur is always complaining that he never gets to go to any events with celebrities present, well I have taken care of that for him, on Friday he is attending a do in London where Russ Abbott is due to turn the lights on. That's good enough for Arthur, so hopefully he will stop complaining for a while.
Our major Christmas event in Stockton on Tees was a resounding success. THe organisers expressed their delight in the number of tickets they had sold to use the attractions, the local people expressed their delight in being able to ride a big wheel, gallopers etc for only fifty pence, and we managed to get through the four days without any major crises appearing, so hopefully this will become an ongoing booking for us.
