Got time? Feel bored on a Saturday? In the area?

How about you come to Stanford Hall a day early and help us set up the marquee ready for the big day.

We need you from about 4pm - all you need to do it turn up, then put up

We had hours of fun last year (well, one and a bit) - then all off for a nice dinner afterwards....

Hopefully see you there!

I now know what to do with the roof so fancy beating the record again?

We're gonna need more than this!

It was fortunate we saw the forklift Dave, or the frame would have stayed on the ground all night.

Think we'd have needed a few more ropes, just one in the middle and the frame would have folded up.

Don't think I'd want to be the foot in your excellently drafted diagram either.

that's ben at stanford if people don't come forward to help

didn't you recognise him?

We'll be there.

I'll try make it but not gonna put my name down as a definite - sure plenty will turn up though, the marquee erecting over the last few years has become a bit of an event in itself!!

How cool was the Optimus Prime we came across at the pub after!! Made my cinq look so so tiny!
