Comitatus at Wallington

[John Conyard]

James, I hope you just haven't joined RAT to question my veracity. Be more positive:-)

Most of us arrived to set up on the Friday. In terms of the public 2,000 came to really see the hall on the Saturday which is a good benchmark. We had over 3,700 on the Sunday and over 5,000 by 2.30 pm on the Monday when the local BBC news channel turned up to do a bit on the record visitor figures. We hit the 9,000 visitors by the end of the event. Although I think we would have been happy to stay up there longer and do another day. The staff were excellent.

Thanks for the kind comments Neil. The last kiddies drill on the Sunday had two encores to get through the number of kids. It was rather time consuming.
