I currently have details of just over 100 events for 2016 that need entering. If you are ready, willing and able to make a start on these, please let me know. Those members who volunteered for do an "area", please let me know and I will sort out the events for you to enter. Many thanks Bill Link to comment

H. Dobson), Jennings Brothers (Kidderminster), Harry Jones, Thomas Jones, Tommy Wilson (Wilsons Amusements Redditch), Joseph Danter, Ann Rogers, W & K N Rolland (Porter), Deakins, James Danter (often now attended by Perry Hatwell), Edward Danter / Danter Brothers and possibly other Showmen I may have inadvertently missed. I guess you can message me a list for me to split out & re-enter. Regards, Mark 3 Link to comment

There has been just ONE volunteer to make a start on the list I have. (Thank you Mark!) If you are able to enter a few of the events I have, please let me know. Without YOUR support, we will have NO COMING EVENTS SECTION for 2016 Link to comment

I have details of 113 events for next year that need entering. Just 3 members have volunteered and have entered 39 Events. That means that I currently have details of 74 events and unless I enter them myself, our members will never know about them! It is too much for any one person to enter all the events - but if members would be prepared to enter a handful each, we could get them all in the forum in a short space of time! It is as simple as starting a new topic in the appropriate forum, entering the dates as the title and as many details of the event in the post as are known. A handful would take 5 minutes. OR, you could leave it to someone else and we'll lose the facility! Unless YOU volunteer to come forward and enter some events, we will lose the facility. Link to comment

There must be a load of members who can spare just a few minutes to help out with entering 'Coming Events'. This has to be the last time of asking. Use it or lose it. Or, in this case, offer a few minutes of your time. Is it too much to ask?? Please!!!!!!! 3 Link to comment
