We put on a much larger display than the publicity suggested, so if you missed it here is a brilliant video from Robert Masterman which shows the mood and the station decorated for the occasion. The station staff on duty are Jen Preston, weekend organiser Jean Hilton, Alison White, Phil Hall(PIC) and FoSS Chairman Terry Shipton with Jean Tucker and Nigel Mott seen arriving. It also shows the brilliant 'Land Girls' who made the weekend special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyxgH1u3gi8&fbclid=IwAR2jigEwZSgI0jQqBs_4SHrVWheZQduDQ0Ev3nnpvEpD2DK4gMlIoU3ik5s
