Berrow 2000 Daily Report: Saturday 23rd September

Welcome Evening

Saturday night was Welcome Evening in the Embelle marquee. This was a chance for the British Buggy Club organisers to introduce themselves to all the members, both new and old, and have a bit of fun at the same time.

The 100 foot marquee was packed with people, and the first Slow-Bo award was presented to Mike Shaw for his kite-jumping mishap. This year's award is a "Barney" electronic sing-along karaoke book, which the Slow-Bo has to sing along to, on request (in exchange for being bought a beer!)

There was a competition for the people who had never been to Berrow before, which was to put a Tunnock's Caramel bar sideways in your mouth, and eat it without chewing. It caused much amusement and certainly broke the ice!
