a fairground life
If ever I needed a reminder of how frail this business is, it came today. A phone call to say that the Timecapsule fair is cancelled in Coatbridge. The swimming pool is being done up and the contractors are using the car park for storing their container bodies in. Unfortunately for us that means 2 weekends closed. The funfair organiser did try for an alternative site but 3 complaints from local bodies put paid to that. I've been on the phone most of the afternoon trying to dig something up but the fact is we are too many and events too few (at this time of the year anyway).
Now where did I put that old UB40?

think we should make our own version of a t in the park showman what you think blakey and jesters live music funfair etc lol get the public on board. where are you just now showman hope all well.borderer
Why don't all the showmen who can't use Coatbridge as a venue not try using the Showpark East Kilbride?
East Kilbride used to get a fair every year, now we don't often see the shows.
Just a thought showman
LICENSING- It takes a minimum of 28 days to process a license application, that is providing there are no complaints. Its just too late to apply for another venue in time for these dates. So we have to try and squeeze into other fairs that might just have space.
At the Mall for Easter.
Glad to hear you got the chaser sorted showman, sorry to hear about the lost gaff though. Is that Bs twist open at stirling? Drove past and didnt get a good look but it looked like a busy wee site for the rides in attendance.
Licensing is a problem sometimes and there are allways the usual moaners objecting. Dont know how this weekend will be as i am still indoors, will either be dead or mobbed. Welder coming to look at the bar thats bent under trailer next weekend hope thats not too expensive. Isnt it strange that the more money you have in your pocket the higher your bills are. Surely some connection there? Hows all the regulars? When is blakey taking to the roads again?
that's I S's twister at stirling. same make almost identical to look at apart from colouring. Blakey keeping a low profile just now but I'm sure he will post something soon as he also having Kia problems. DZ working well at moment must be due to all the new parts fitted from being in the secc (LOL)
