Title: Building the Fairground!
Post by: Michael Alexander on July 21, 2010, 02:24:03 PM
Local longtime resident, Julie-Anne Pitcher, sent me an email with some interesting snaps from a chap called Ron (surname escapes us). Anyhow turns out Ron built some of the fairground equipment some 30 odd years ago. He cannot remember the name of the chap he dealt with at CDM.

Thanks Ron & Julie-Anne

Many were trashed and vandalised... found the door to the room they were stored in at the mule derby grounds kicked in and the place wrecked inside (that was a good few years back)... today's society, shame!
