a fairground life (clyde river festival)
Time for the Clyde River festival (river fest) again. So last night, as per previous years we arranged for the carpark to close from 6:30pm. Then we would arrive on site just before 7pm. Again as in previous years we had to juggle our way through,around and sometimes even over the parked cars! As usual we managed to get most of the gear set onto the plots. This morning we should hopefully get the remaining small centre plots arranged. After that all we need is the weather. It should be a good crowd over Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The photo shows the Skydiver of "SE" being shunted into position between some of the parked cars. The legs of the Finnieston Crane are to the right, towering out of the frame. It will be a good line up at the City Inn area with appearances from Dot Cotton and X Factor stars, I'm told.

Hi all, getting hacked off this week with greedy venues, my indoor pitch has declared the rents are to rise again next week, why do so many venues do this? Are they really trying to drive everyone away? profits are low enough with out having to shell out even more, had a company that gave us seven events a year for £50 per event for 6yrs, last year they announced this was going up to £350 per event. Strangely we havent been back. But the lost gaffs are proving hard to replace. Surely its better to get £50 off a lot of people than get £350 off the few that can afford it??
Add to that punters have been in short supply at the wknd and the vans diesel guage is playing up...
grrr, hope showman blakey and co doing better, should be busy at the mall with better weather and glas hols, your right borderer its been a quick season so far..best to all.
