There was a lot of sun too, enough to become uncomfortable by mid afternoon. It made it very tough for wrg, slogging in the sun, especially in the car park. The main car park was full by 11, and all of them by lunchtime. Cars had to be advised to park in the Town Hall car park and use the shuttle bus.
Despite this, I understand that there was a good gate, and there were certainly a lot of folk around everytime we went on site.
The last offical issue of the
Shoveler was printed and published; just the unofficial spoof issue to go. This is the one that allows the newsletter team to have some fun at the expense of their co-workers and (possibly former) friends. It's only given to the three week workers and the wrgies, needless to say.
Just a few photos today:

| Climbing Everest |
Staffs Fire and Rescue did a sponsored Everest climb up a ladder and down a pole for their own charity and local charities. 20 guys went up and down to climb a total of 8848 metres, the height of Everest.

| Smallest entry |
This amazing scale model of an FMC josher has been going up and down the cut. It has an MP3 player inside producing the sound of a Bolinder, and is controlled by its constructor being towed behind it in a canoe. The power source is an electric engine of the type used in mobility scooters.

| Speechifying |
This is the pic that broke my resolve yesterday when Blogger was playing up; it shows the opening speeches on Friday lunchtime.
We're nearly there; see you tomorrow.
