Been to Jonsies show.....

Sounds like a really good show must get along next year and not miss out

Hi Everyone,

 

Just caught my breath after getting back and recovering from the show. We had a few hiccups - the PA announcer getting his days mixed up and the food guy leaving early on the Friday - but I think we managed to work (and drink) around them and rest assured they will not be happening again next year! Other than that and the weather, which I am reliably informed I cannot control, I think the show went really well and would like to thank everyone who came and helped with that success:

 

A massive thank you to Richard Olley for everything he does to help make the show happen.

 

Thanks to Mick Stockbridge and Mark (Gollum) for supplying the targets for the axe-throwing and thanks to Steve for running the comp.

 

There are so many others I need to thank, but this post would get very long and boring - you all know who you are and I'm very grateful.

 

Please let us know what you liked/didn't like about the show and how we can improve for next year. Do you think it would be worth having the show open until later (maybe 7) on the Friday, to allow people to come along after work? Also, if we provided a quality live band and hog roast on the Friday evening, do you think more people would come and camp? We firmly believe that the focus of the show (and the key to its success) should be the social side of professional networking and putting names to faces, so anything we can do to help this, please let us know.

 

I'll stop rambling now - thanks again to everyone who came along / exhibited / helped organise the show. I'm knackered!

 

Justin.

 

For me personaly, next year i will be bringing my own tucka anyway, I couldnt get an egg and bacon roll in the morning:thumbdown: for me it was lacking quality, i know its only a burger wagon, but theres burger wagons, and then theres burger wagons that "cater":sneaky2:

 

Sorry if this offends anyone, but thats MY opinion.

 

the hog roast and later program would be a big help for sure to those coming after work on the friday.

 

I also think we should have some after hour games to enhance the "entertainment" of us all, it is great fun messing about with you all, the tug o war was inspired.

 

I also thoroughly enjoyed the climbing comp:thumbup1:

Flood lighting in the evening would have been good, its hard to now who's who in the dark.

Arm wrestling would be good for next year.
