Just a wee shout out to everyone who helped out with SIDC @ Alford 2011 last weekend and made it the success that it was! Well done! CLICKY FOR PICS
The "setup crew" had a cracking run up on the Saturday afternoon - sadly net of a Badger... but there was always the RB320 to fall back on... Some folk have it tough...
A bit of hard graft in the rain saw the bails and safety barriers whipped up in record time before a well earned knees-up at the Haughton Arms. Good food, good drink and good craic - big thanks for all the hard graft.
A pretty decent turnout ensued on sunday in-spite of the less-than-perfect weather and a very selfless team of marshals kept the day running safely and smoothly throughout and then all pitched in to help with a necessarily swift clear-up in the face of a torrential rainstorm - thanks guys!
Special thanks to (in no particular order):
Peter for the Show and Shine trophies donated free-gratis...
The Ice-Cream Man, & Dale for sorting his attendance...
Phil for being our Ibiza fire-fighter extraordinaire - good news on this front to be read elsewhere, you'll be pleased to know...
Al, Dave and John for stepping in for the Show and Shine judging...
Lorna for (wo)manning the tower and track sign-ups...
Dave for organising coverage in the Press and Journal and bringing the RA shiny bits...
Malcolm and the GTM crew for their hosting support...
Del, for bringing my car back in one piece. ...
Cathy for being Queen of the chequered flag...
Matty and the Pistonheads guys for bringing their stand and joining in the action...
...And once again all the bods who pitched in to help with setup, clear-up and marshalling
Finally, a big thanks to everyone who turned up and made the day a success - there would have been no point without you all. your feedback is greatly valued and will all be taken into consideration when planning for next year's event!
Roll on ALFORD 2012!!!
