At the Melplash Show we promoted the Club and the Trick Factory. Our gazebo displayed the Trick Factory banner; inside a film, by 14 year old Charlie King, was shown on a large tv screen. Purple for Polio "badges" were on sale and a Shelterbox was displayed. 

The event was a huge success with very many parents, teenagers and children coming to talk to us and to watch the film which was on a loop. 

We were also honoured with a visit by Rotary assistant district governor Michael Fernando, from Yeovil, who made a special trip to see this project led initiative which Rotary GB&I are encouraging all clubs to follow.
