Sounds good to me, I can lend you an articulated lorry for the day if you want to take the idea forward.

In fact, here`s one we did earlier..........

Well, it`s a bit late for this year but this would be my idea.

Lurking deep in the workshop are two trains which have not seen the light of day for many long years.

So we drag one out, paint it up nicely, and then put it on the back of a 45` flatbed trailer. Lots of lights, music, flags and balloons etc, and we take it to every carnival in Kent and beyond.

I drive the truck, everybody else sits on the train, waving to the crowds, or handing out leaflets advertising our website and our cause to the hordes........

How does that sound? I`ve got a truck and a 45` trailer so we`re half-way there already!

Hi Vince, that sounds like a great idea but there is one problem, can you convince our mate Jimmy Godden ha ha ha to let us use one of those trains? Im thinking not,

Anyway hope to see you and the boys at the Scenic this weekend,

Dave

Hmmm, I see your point, Dave. Still, the basic idea of a carnival float seems good.

Providing the weather is a little bit better than today, we will be along for a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon so we`ll see you then.
