Well, another wet weekend which put my plans for touting the new society meeting this Thursday in the village hall up the spout. Went down on saturday with my A frame, plus large poster, a satchel full of leaflets and handouts and bags of enthusiasm. However my timing was out, i set up at 12 noon and stood till half one, with the heavens opening up just as i got there. Did my best to engage folk but they were no walkers as such and those that did come just jumped out the car to use the loo or dash to the shop! no time or inclination to stop and chat about what we are doing. So went home wet and dejected and decided to come back on sunday, but a little later in the afternoon this time.
Sunday. Arrived about 2.30pm and the sun was out and my hopes were full of a good day.....by 3.00pm i was hiding under a shop sunshade to stay dry....., again any locals and vistors were in no way wanting to stop and talk and so i decided to give up and go and see Tom Wyles to get dry and chat over the meeting details. Lets hope the poster and web invites work better than direct contact, shame as it would have really worked if only for the blinking weather working against me...grrrrr
