Hi All

It is a shame about the big tent. Although the stitching on one of the corners had already burst and a two foot split was present on the back edge, caused during previous deployments, it was at least serviceable and could have lasted for --- who knows?

It looks just like everybody feels, at the end of four days Santa Special ---- Shattered!

Thank you all for your hard work and support for this event in setting up the site and working the 750+ volunteer hours that make Santa Specials so successful.

Hope you all have a happy New Year.

Norman.

Dear all,

Unfortunately the Santa refreshment tent, which had been left up outside the pavilion, was totally destroyed in the high wind.

I know people get fed up with me banging on about moving it or taking it down when finished with but we really can't afford errors like this.

We need to replace urgently for the impending school visits, and Ivor has this in hand, but the money required will have to come out of Santa Specials.

We must ensure this is not allowed to happen again.
