'Spreading the word...'

'...that's what it's all about.' - so said Lee Copplestone the Site Manager of the Sandwell Valley nature reserve as he packed me off to the Sandwell Show in the Sandwell Park Farm arena field.

For the following 2 days I stood, crouched, bent, knelt, barely sat as I talked incessantly to the many hundreds of visitors to our splendid marquee. 

I was very ably assisted by a very willing crew and many thanks to them all:- Mike Ixer for enduring both days, Paul Broomhead & Rebecca Neal for helping on Sunday and Tony Whiggle and the team from the Walsall local group who were there to the very end last night.

I certainly enjoyed spreading the word.
