It was well organised, we had tables and chairs provided for us. We didn’t have any cover but the weather turned out well with only a few drops of rain. We were in the Nature/Family zone and there was a lot of interest in the observation hive from the public and especially the children. We promoted our Honey Show and also the threat of the Asian Hornet. And gave out information on both. Vesna and Maarten came too and sold a few jars of their honey.
We managed well
between us, having a couple of short breaks. It was a long day so more volunteers would have been great. Jan had an allocated parking space not too far from the site so we were able to unload the car and move it to the car park. There was music, food stalls, free handouts, drumming, a fun fair and even an opportunity to help paint and build a dragon which was paraded around at the close of the zone. The organises came round regularly to see how we were and to thank us for participating. They are very keen to have us back.
