In the 'olden days', when we did not have the use of the big area that is now available, the grass site was better than nothing. It always had problems, though, and as you said Westminster would not allow any tree-trimming or any improvements to the surface. > Regarding the number off boats in the pageant over hundred!! no I don't > think so maybe 30 plus, but as Steve Haywood said why do you not enter the > pageant or the boat handling etc. > > One of your comments about a lot of people behind the seens made me laugh, > how many people do you think help at LV?? with setting up running the > event > and then take down???? > > During this year I took over the role of Chairman for the LV Committee, > and > still the Work camp (Moose Camp) leader/manager.

You are continuing a great tradition of the work-camp volunteers being helpful and pleasant in the face of a lot of pressure - and even enjoying yourselves in the process! Well done, the Moose Camp. > > Moose > LV Festival Chairman and Work Camp Manager Dorothy
