Award-winning success at Stoneleigh |
|
The Imagineering Fair 2006 at the Town & Country Festival at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in August turned out to be a landmark event for lots of reasons.
|
- The organising committee of the Festival awarded a special Trophy to Imagineering for Best Section at the Show. It came as a major but delightful surprise! Not only that, it was presented by Mr Peter Bell, Chairman of the organising committee live on air on the Bob Brolly show on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire radio! The Trophy is very much a team award for all the hard working participants and supporters of Imagineering
- This year not one but two Lord Mayors came to visit – from Birmingham and Coventry with their respective consorts
- Jaguar launched an exciting new schools project, the Sports Car Challenge in Schools
- Trevor Baylis, the famous inventor, a regular with Imagineering in the Midlands, spent the whole weekend delighting visitors with his humour and wit, judging Meccano challenges and presenting prizes.
|
The Fair, the seventh at Stoneleigh, attracted around 40,000 visitors, including many regular visitors, and there was never a dull moment!
