I was sat in a meeting yesterday with one of our newest clients, the Djanogly City Academy, at their premises on Gregory Boulevard, and couldn't help sneaking a look out of the window at the log flume being constructed just across the road. It reminded me that Goose Fair is only a week away. I’m pretty sure my two children will want me to go with them – if for no other reason than to pay for the rides for which I’ll probably need a bank loan!
My son though who’s 15 will probably want to go with his friends but my daughter who’s 11 has already said she wants to go but with strict instructions that we go on the big rides – which I am sure we will! Maybe I’m just a big kid but I can’t help being a little bit excited about the prospect of the fair. It brings back fond memories of my childhood in Loughborough, when a fair used to (and still does) take over the town centre for a few days in November. I can still remember rides of the Waltzers listening to Hot Chocolate – that shows my age!
The only dilemma is when we manage to squeeze in a trip to Goose Fair. With a public meeting for one of our clients, Evans Concrete, about the proposed redevelopment of their site in Ripley on Thursday evening, a centenary party for Nottingham Northern Swimming Club of which I am chairman on the Friday and the Club Centenary Gala on the Saturday, not quite sure when we’ll manage it – but I’m sure we will! And with the forecast for the weekend looking good, it would be a shame not to wouldn’t it!
