Well who do i THANK first
Well its like making a cake you gather all the ingredents together, you get a good strong bowl you put all the ingredents together in that bowl and that is how Fortress Wales was a sucess by all the different groups, traders and vehicle owners.
then you cook it and put the icing on and the icing is the battles, areana displays, the walking displays and the encampments
Then you put the decorations on it Castle, Groups, Traders, Vehicles and each individual person that attended and put a 100% into it and you end up with FORTRESS WALES 2012
Big THANK you goes out to
John Site Manger and the Caldicot team
Diana McCrea Help For Heroes
All the boys in the SWB who helped out
All the groups, traders and Vehicle Owners who attended
and Paul my husband who holds my hand, cwtchs me and who took my socks and boots of yesterday and checked for blisters lol
