br2975 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 An exhibition is not just about the layouts, it's about all those who muck-in and help out together with those who come through the doors and hopefully have an enjoable visit. . Here are a few sanpshots of todays personalities, including "Roary the lion" - class mascot from Tonysguboriau Primary School, Talbot Green. . As for the Clark's pie; I'll leave "Happy Hippo" to explain his (much appreciated) gifts. . May I thank all of you, exhibitors, helpers, friends,Peter Lord and his good lady, members of staff from Lord & Butler and most of all the visitors, who made this a very successful day. . Brian R.
