Countdown to Mayday

Only ten days to go to Llandudno's annual Extravaganza. As it moves into its second decade as the premier Mayday event in Wales it's interesting to look back and see how it's changed. Perhaps the biggest change was the addition of the transport festival on Bodafon fields back in the early '90s; this event alone now attracts people from all over the UK and has long been a favourite with those who have a penchant for single-piston pump-action engines (whatever they might be:-). One thing that hasn't changed, however, is that a huge amount of the organisational work is done by a comparatively small number of enthusiastic volunteers. The main extravaganza can always do with more help, particularly on the Saturday morning, when things are just starting to get going, because that's when anything that's going to go wrong, does go wrong.
