The 9.00am meeting was attended by about 52 volunteers. We were reminded of our responsibilities to the NRTHF sponsors and visitors and given an opportunity to ask questions about the coming few days. It turns out tomorrow is the 'arrivals' day, however it seems many visitors have chosen to arrive early to get a good camp spot. There are about 150 campers already out in the hot and dusty paddock. The number of visitors wandering through the museums has increased markedly and our Kenworth boss is back in full swing. Registration for the event opens Wednesday and events get fully underway on Thursday. The printer failed to talk to the computer so we are still none the wiser as to our roster for those days although it was confirmed that you largely keep doing what you've already been doing, just more of it!! Mopping here I come!!
It was well worth the effort we've put in over the two few weeks as our boss is most impressed with the trucks and the floor! Yay! Today we helped hang large placards describing the history of different dealerships, arranged photos, removed protective film from placards and then it was time for home - for me anyway. The only job left was moving the prime movers, seems Graham didn't think I was up for that challenge.
Another 4 trucks are arriving tomorrow, all of which will need washing and moving into the shed - there goes the clean floor!! But for today it was an afternoon off, a return to 'normal' life. A little bit of washing, even some hand washing as wearing a white shirt ballooning was a big mistake. (I didn't realise we had to help pack the very dusty out back balloon into it's over-sized sleeping bag case!) Baked a cake, swept the floor and read a book. Lovely. Due to the shorter amounts of time off I think this will be my week of stealing an hour here or there to read a book, (The Bush is next on the list book clubbers), take a Nana nap or go for a walk. Not a bad way to spend part of a holiday!
