Showman's Show

So this week some of us headed down to Newbury for the annual Showman's Show, where companies exhibit their products. This ranges from stages to portable toilets!

I was on the look out for a mobile stage for our Lytham Christmas Lights Switch On event in November. We eventually settled on one from Star Events. Whilst we were there we also came across some interesting sights. A mobile bar with a talking moose head on the top was a particular highlight. We saw some really great items that would be fab for next years events.

We also tested out a driving game, which you can hire for your events. After some tough competition and a difficult driving track, I can confirm I neither won or lost the race. In fact I was nearer to losing than winning- not my best driving moment! Albeit this wasn't a real car we were driving, infact several tiny cars on a race track infront of us. Pretty much a sophisticated Scalextric car racing game (do you remember Scaletric? Taking over your lounge building the track and it driving you mad when the car comes off the track because it was going too fast!). We also saw the return of Mr T from his travels, albeit he's lacking in the tan department.

We also returned to the office with a present for our designer, Ryan.

A GOLD TOILET!!!!

Ryan is so happy with his gift that he's told us to cancel his birthday and christmas presents. Nothing could ever compete with his gold toilet now. It's nice when a gift is really appreciated!

As well as Scalextric car races, gold toilets and a chesterfield, we've been nominated for an award! Lytham Proms has been shortlisted for UK Festival's Best Small Festival Award. It's really easy to vote, it's free and you may win VIP tickets to all three nights at the Proms.  So what are you waiting for, get voting!
