This is our ' final prep weekend' for the Grimsby show. The admin and paperwork has been going on for weeks, adverts placed, tables ordered for delivery on Thursday, AA signs ordered, caterer contacted to make sure all is well, floor plans drawn up and much, much more. This weekend is the final preparation and our volunteers help to sort and pack the show kit, top up the treasure hunt prizes, split the wrist bands from sheets of 10 into bundles of 100, and generally get the show licked into physical shape. On Thursday we shop for the all important volunteer sandwiches for setting up day on Friday when there is no caterer on site, then on Friday, we are at the Auditorium setting out tables and chairs, preparing the reception desk and the treasure hunt prize table, arranging the talks room and generally preparing for exhibitors who may arrive from 2pm to set up for the next day.
This is always the exciting week, as months of work now comes together very quickly!
We love the Grimsby show - it is one of our longest running ones and the people are always so warm and welcoming. Grimsby, here we come!!!
