a fairground life

Spent all morning and early afternoon in the offices of the Showmen's Guild Scottish section. Over the summer I had made a few complaints regarding other members activities on fairs and events I attended this year. To be honest this is the first time I have had to do this and it seems I have filled my quota. The committee hears evidence from all parties and witnesses and rules on their findings. All sections of the Showmens Guild in Britain have separate committees to hear complaints and generally control members actions,conduct, etc on any fairground in that section. Win or lose, at least you feel you have said your piece.
Back in the shed after teatime. It was too late to start anything major so we tidied away some of the paint tins and tools. I made a 45 gallon drum into a fire and started to burn the timber off cuts, cardboard boxes that were laying about in an attempt to tidy up a bit. Then we emptied the van in readiness for tomorrow as we are going t take the scrap metal away. After that it will be various small jobs until Sunday when we will sweep, sweep, sweep. Still got to investigate the DZ suspension problem. 5 days to go.
