CARPETS CLEANED, COVERS AND DVDS MADE

A very busy and generally productive day. The only thing which fell behind is the skip pick up which didn't happen, we want to get the drive cleaned and the cars back off the road, will chase up builders to get a grip of the skip people. I managed to get a rake of covers done, by the end of this evening all the Truckfest will be ready , I already updated the DVD list to reflect the weekend films. When covers are finished I'll get them on the shop and send off pre ordered DVDs. While the carpet cleaner was here I went out and had a session tidying up the gardens, the front lawn is slowly coming back after the drought last year and the back lawn has been taken over by some course grass ij places but generally has good cover and looks well after mowing in the rain, the borders are now much better trimmed.

The carpets look superb after their spring clean, the chap did a really good job and was very pleasant. I want to get the second coat of pain on the new showroom / office as soon as possible, it may be the weekend as we have the Polio Fellowship tomorrow, a film trip I'm planning on Friday . Saturday collection for Polio Fellowship on the Wirral. As soon as the decorating is finished we'll get the carpet delivered and fitted and then move the tape media cabinets in as these will be the foundation for the larger display cases. We will use the small bedroom fitted cupboards etc for the packing table area, wall cupboards above and with a much larger top the base unit from the bedroom will give needed cupboard space and a drawer as well allowing us tio keep it more tidy. The new showcases will probably be constructed as individual units then installed as the plaster board walls won't really stand a lot of weight.

Just one more Truckfest DVD to make and the last covers and that is me up to date for  once, its been hard catching up after the Asia trip. We will be looking at possibilities for trips to Ireland, Scotland and London for bus and trucks, exclude trucks from London mention though! DVD orders remain slack, a rare month which saw us running at a much greater loss than normal I've not booked a stand at Kelsall as they are far too expensive for the small volume of trade and offers little as we can get there readily from home and normal admission offers better value in this case. We shall have an indoor stand at Gaydon vintage truck event this year with lots of our commercial DVD range. We have booked Alton rally stand and will be booking Heaton Park in Manchester for September. Rapidly approaching is the Morecambe Ribble event, we have a stand booked for the Sunday, I never had any reply from Stagecoach re the open day.
