SOUTH WEST AREA RALLIES REPRESENTATION

DARTMOOR RADIO RALLY (which was a very active event) was held at Tavistock College, Crowndale Rd, Tavistock, Devon where I had a very busy day talking to people.
The attendance was as follows:-
Trade stands 26
Clubs/voluntary organisations 9
Staff for the above 100
Visitors 285
My book signatures 36
Many more people visited, but were reluctant to sign the book! God knows why.
An ex-Royal Marine Signaller, (Larkspur), took away an application form. (In fairness to him, there have been many examples of combined RM/Army formations, and there are no RNARS reps in this area, so perhaps he can join.)
Ref photos, a friend of mine usually takes the pictures and sends them on to me, but he was unavailable.
All in all, a good event, but a lot of the same old faces. Good in a way, makes things look normal. The number of visitors was expected to rise above 300, but didn't in the end. Bad weather forecast/imminent election/no money/bone idle, who knows. We normally have some early holiday makers, but perhaps not this time.
Let us now therefore hope for a good Summer, with the election out of the way, and people more confident to spend money on hobby kit.
