Up up and away!

We were up early this morning and by 9.30 I was tootling round to pick up Chi Chi and Kate - our glamorous helpers! We met up with Fred to pick up the caravan and we were soon arriving at Shoreham airport where it was a hive of activity! As we came in on the A27 a hurricane was coming in to land and stall holders were on the airfield setting up for the weekends events.
The first thing out of the van were the teabags and the doughnuts... and by the time the kettle had boiled our great friend The Incredible Mr Marsh (www.rufusmarsh.co.uk) had arrived to lend a hand. Other helpers were slow to turn up and so even yours truly took up a sledge hammer. Don't think I was MUCH help but was quite proud of the fact that I drove 3, 4ft stakes into the ground when normally I wimp out half way through the first one. The medal does have to go to The Incredible Mr Marsh (otherwise known as Rufus) as he drove in the majority of the stakes and quickly took the nickname of 'the machine' as he just didn't stop!

The Team (including me who is behind the lens)

We will be back at the Airshow first thing tomorrow morning to help lead the procession at 9.45. The circus tent will be open all day both Saturday and Sunday so DO come in to see us.

More news coming soon...

Bye for now

Chocs Away!

We're all SO excited here at Fred's Flying Circus headquarters! Tomorrow we are heading over to Shoreham airport to put up the 'Little' Big Top in preparation for the Airshow weekend. It's an event we do every year and thoroughly enjoy!
We will be one of the major children's events and are starting the proceedings with a Circus parade at 10am Saturday morning. The tent will be open all day Saturday and Sunday so you can come and try out some circus skills. At various times during the day Fred will be amazing and amusing with his magic and Chi Chi will be performing her incredible hula hoop routine. I will be there to help out and make cups of tea.
I'll be back very soon with news of the Airshow straight from the circus caravan!
Watch this space!
