Another follow-on event after we appeared at the Ecovelocity show last year.
C5alive have been invited to The Naturally Green Show being held on 29th January at East Court College lane, East Grinstead RH19 3LT
If you want to come along and say hi admission is free from 10.30am through to 4pm. All proceeds from the day going to the Ashurst Wood Pre-School Development Fund, so we're helping to support a very worthy cause as well as enjoying an interesting day out 8)
I'll be going along with my display c5 "half-pint" and one other, probably "moneypit" that appeared on the Gadget Show.

Went along to East Court today for the Naturally Green show. Have to say it wasn't as busy as I'd expected...nothing wrong with the venue or the way it was organised, there simply wasn't the numbers of people attending that everyone anticipated. Hope the event goes on to become better supported in future years because the amount of effort put in by the organisers deserves to be rewarded with a successful event.
Here are a few piccies from today, the first one looks like we are trying to sell wedding events ;D ;

The c5's managed to grab the attention of those that did come along to the event, in particular a fascinating gent who was also previously a neighbour of "the famous Beatrice Shilling" . To my shame nope, I hadn't heard of her either, but having looked her up - wow , what an interesting woman ! Amongst many other notable achievements, she also raced motorbikes at Brooklands 8)
