Today has been a day for putting up the tents, so the main big top is now in the air (although they’ll put the walls on it tomorrow) and all of the other tents have gone up.
Tomorrow will be a day for stages and the first of the technical equipment will be going in. The rain has kept off for the majority of today so fingers crossed it will stay dry tomorrow until all of the marquees are up.
So the count down to Breakout 2008 has officially started - with just a few days to go we’ve started arriving at site to start getting things into place. Well OK - actually I’m here on my own - as one of the event managers for the event I’m here early to make sure all of the marquees, big tops and technical people get here and put everything in the right place. Over the next few days I’ll be joined by more and more volunteers until everyone starts to arrive on Friday!
Now the bad news is that it isn’t totally dry here - I took this photo a couple of hours ago when it was raining quite hard, but it has dried out a little now. This space is where (starting tomorrow) the main venue will be built. After that we’ll get underway with some of the tents, the other big top (yes, there are two!).
I’ll try and post some more pictures tomorrow.
Thanks, Rob
