doing.

theme

safety barriers etc and where the money is going to be collected
Have lots of FUN
Step 7:
Try and get the lorry delivered the night before or
really really really early on the day

Step 8:
THE DAY
Get up ridiculously early
Get a member of your group to make bacon sandwiches!
All hands to the decks while the lorry comes together…
have lots and lots of FUN!
Get into costumes, have make-up applied and then…
…Run around screaming at each other in a blind panic
because you don’t think you’ll get to the Brays in time – AAAARRRRGH! It’s far
too early!
And then, calmly get to the Brays performing as you ‘sail’
past the judges in all your glory….
