Amazing, thank you all so much.
I think the weather was always going to be a bit hit and miss this year, but didn’t it line up perfectly for lunchtime briefing and the auction? What a downpour.
From, Chris, Rosie and myself thank you all for helping out on the day, Paul and Tony our Venue Controllers go unsung on magic day, but they are just the best guys, there early to set up, take down, and constant tinkering with the site and making sure everyone behaves, out on track.
Sarah, Phil, Debbie and Ian on the gate getting everyone in, Kim catching those that had not filled in the guests pre registration page.
A special thanks to Ian Potts for opening up the gate system so that this year the indemnity forms were all signed online, we have a really good idea of who came along this year and in what cars. Thank you Ian!
Elliot, what a star, Thank you for sorting out the car park this year with help from Lily, Scott and Nigel F. John from bringing the Pathfinder trailer with the gazebos! Thanks to Tom for getting them out of Lyneham on time.
Rachel, Thank you along with both Zoe’s and Kiera and Jackie, Thank you for running everything on the stand, the raffle, the tombola, the ticket sales.
Those of you that organised items for the raffle and Auction this year surpassed yourselves, I think Carl gets the award for scrounging the most things including the tour around Ford’s private collection!
James, for bringing the “test your strength” machine, loads of you had fun with that, a great slideshow for those of you brave enough to have a go.
Rich, Thanks for bringing your colleagues along and organising the car wreck for us to have a look at.
KJ for spending so much time on the gate, thank you.
Paul, Magic day wouldn’t be the same without you, not only did you manage to squeeze every penny out of the Auction, but organising the guys formerly of Thatcham Research, organising the Sporting Bears and getting the AA to come along! I will miss doing the auction with you. A big thanks to Tony C for coming down and collecting all the cash.
Chris for also organising the Fire Engine, UCL and DHL and to Rosie for pretty much answering all the questions on email this year, looking after a load of the Magic Day stuff and making me do what I have to do on time. Thank you. A special mention for your Dad that comes along and helps with everything on the day and putting up with our whatsapp group chat.
Edelgard for doing all the Social media stuff even though she couldn’t make it on the day.
Just by being there you helped, you helped raise over £7500 on the day, those of you that are doing matched funding through your employer will increase that further.
Thank you all.
