Thanks again to you both.

Air Ministry – the Autojumble date has been noted; but there are ongoing challenges with the shared access when that event is held and the marshalling; plus signage challenges with the organiser and the ‘disgruntled visitors’ that the museum has to deal with in the days leading up to those events. Discussions ongoing with the landlord!

Bunsen Honeydew – feedback appreciated and noted; basically you need to make sure GOK is on time! See you again hopefully quite soon!!

Poll details re Aeroboot / Aerojumble on the museum’s Twitter timeline:

“Some market research regarding Aeroboot / Aerojumble events at the museum – would you attend  an Outdoor Sale in late October?

Attend as seller
Attend as a buyer
Only attend an indoor event
Would not attend”

From Newark!

“A big thank you to everyone who attended Cockpit-Fest 21 in whatever capacity; a full thank you message & a list of the winners in now on the website!

It was a record breaking weekend for the museum!!”

Just the usual way in to the event, which is the same for most Showground events at present due to there being a Covid Vaccination Centre on the Showground that uses one of their other main entrances.

Latest update is that most festival traffic might actually be today, as it starts tonight and runs into Saturday with people camping over – also yesterday the festival organiser indicated that they would put in additional marshals to help filter out museum traffic.

This has been an issue with the Autojumble which can plug access a bit for short periods. A similar event last week (Vegan Camp Out) didn’t cause too many direct access issue onto the site (again arrivals on Friday), but the surrounding roads were a challenge; as they have been most weekends this summer with East Coast traffic on the A17, A46, A1133 and A1.
