GaryC on TV!
- 1 September 2009 07:2428356I had my back to the television as I was didling away on the computer when what do I hear but a piece on the Deal Mining Festival behind me and a chap talking. I whizzed around and there was our burly miner GaryC telling us all about it. I reached for the camera but wasnt quick enough on the draw to get a picture before Gary's item had moved away. It seems it was a great day down there in Deal. Lots of super things happening all around us on this Bank Holiday. We are a lot of action packed forumites and no mistake!
Well done to GaryC though... you are a great ambassador for the mining community Gary, and indeed an ambassador for mining communities everywhere.
Anybody else see this item on TV?email: dover7@msn.com - 1 September 2009 17:5228381PaulB,
Thanks Paul, I was still busy, so did not see it, not sure what I said either, so if anyone has link to it, I would appreciate it? It turned out to be a fantastic day, great turnout, caught us on the hop that one did, some say about 10.000 visitors, bit of hiccup with parking, will resolve that one next year but everything else went ok, I believe, any feedback would be appreciated as well?

But I heard from the Friends of the Dover War Memorial Project that there were heaps of visitors and that their stand went very well, with lots of people expressing interest. So a there!The Dover War Memorial Project

The Battle of Britain Day over here is on Thursday and a school holiday with most of the shops closing for the day or afternoon. Perhaps it should be similar over in England?Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 12 September 2009 18:0628850"My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum"
