Re-entry &
splashdown
Monday 29 September 2008
‘All mission
objectives accomplished at this time, Captain’. So
might our exhibition manager have reported to the
Chairman, if both weren’t so knackered after a hard
weekend’s exhibitioning. Final figures are still
being massaged by our treasurer, but we are well in
the black, with credit lines which are neither toxic
nor sub-prime. A full de-brief will wait awhile, as
more urgent tasks are to hand, such as getting the
borrowed barriers back to Bolton, and the hire van
back to Ryder’s. Feedback is generally very positive
on the venue and on the exhibition itself, whilst
still leaving room for the continuous improvement
which is characteristic of all progressive
institutions nowadays. Banks definitely excepted.
Amazing how quickly it all melts away at closing
time, with exhibits and trading stands rapidly broken
down and shipped out ready for the drive home and the
challenge of a new Monday. A couple of hours and it’s
all a memory. Will stop now before sentiment gets the
upper hand. Some photos are here.
