I would like to add a few words about PHL

It was smashing to see so many visitors thoroughly enjoying themselves at PHL, thus all the hard work put into the event by committee, family and friends, was worthwhile.

Dave and Jim did a fantastic job preparing the event field over the past year and managing to keep it in tip top condition despite the previous rainy weather.

During the previous week the team spent their precious spare time moving equipment from various places and erecting tents. We were also lucky enough friends in high places, who provide us with the stages. West ransport and Nelson Haulage.

Emma and her team of friends enjoyed keeping the visitors at PHL well fed with the brilliant BBQ, cooking 800 burgers and sausages, along with a tasty veggie curry freshly cooked by Charanjit and her lovely family.They all worked extremely hard.

Visitors were kept well watered by Jayne and Phil who kept the bar running smoothly for 12 hours.

Kathryn and her crew offered a collection of chocolate and soft drinks, keeping everyone sweet during the day.

It was good to see a couple of new stalls at PHL. For the more adventurous you could have your hair colourfully plaited, a pretty henna tattoo or a reading of tarot cards.

Phil was kept very busy on previous days, with all the electrical work. Thanks to him our stalls were well lit.

The bouncy castle provided lots of free fun for everyone, thanks to the good management of Phil's mum.

The security team did a fantastic job keeping order around the site. Some of the this job looked quite stressful, but they handled the huge responsibility exceedingly well, and with a smile on their faces. Big Dave missed the music event so he was in top form for the night shift.

The support on Monday was awesome, as litter picking took place along with the general tidying up. This was done with enthusiasm by family and friends, especially when it became finders keepers!
But also I would like to say a big thank you to all the visitors who enjoyed the marvellous day, who behaved well, and who helped us tidy up. It was good to see everyone having FUN!

I am so proud of my family and our friends for their success in making Park Hall Live such a fantastic event , and helping to make a boy's dream come true!

Thank you everyone for the positive feed back.
