The Show
And what a show!! People are still talking about 2008!! Peter Young from Community Foods put the 08 show into words very succinctly:
"THAT was the MOST AMAZING MEGA show in the whole world. not only was it incredibly busy on both days and we sold out all the food we brought, but it was so well run, the atmosphere was great, extra special, it was like going back to the sixties. There were so many times when I stopped to see lots of different groups of people having fun and everyone was so relaxed and friendly and the music was fantastic too. and all this was down to you, all the work you put in and the vibes you created.
a big THANK YOU for a wonderful week end,
kind regards,
Peter."
