CarFest South 2015 Saturday - Facebook Group Photoshoot
Earlier in the week I decided to arrange a photoshoot for the members of the CarFest Facebook page, we had around 70 people put their names down to attend the photoshoot, when I arrived on site on Friday I made it my challenge to try and get some celebs involved to honour the collective efforts of the group for raising over £1,600 in badge sales alone.
After having a lengthy chat with a very nice lady in charge of Pudsey bears diary the first celeb was in the bag and booked to be collected by myself at 10:45 am Saturday and escorted to the photoshoot area for 11am I then managed to arrange a meet up with the one and only Chris Evans, however he could not attend the 11am photoshoot as he was required on track around the same time, a bit of quick thinking from myself and brand events manager Chris Hughes and we came up with a plan to meet before the planned group shot around 10am on Saturday morning. I then had a chat with Matt Lewis (Tiswas Bunny) who was more than willing to come along with us to help Penny hand over the cheque to Chris Evans. Now came the next issue, how to get Penny and her husband Nigel into the site before it opened :o after many security checks I managed to escort the couple with the cheque into the drivers lounge whilst we awaited further instructions from Chris.... then over the tannoy out of nowhere we heard can Mr Martin Hoare make himself known and come over to the start line... this was our call Upon setting up where the photo should happen we then awaited Chris Evans return from starting the hillclimb in the car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Then came the mad rush to collect Pudsey bear from the Pudsey Shop and somehow all make it over to the other side of the site before everyone left as we were pushing on the planned shoot time, Matt Nigel and I decided it might be quicker if we were to go on foot and let the ladies and Pudsey take the pudseymobile over to the main stage.
However the mud was not on anybodys side, pudseys driver got bogged down so had to resort in trying to find a route through from the back of the stage to the front of the stage, whilst I was talking to the group assuring the wait was going to be worth it Chris Evans drove by in his buggy waving and beeping to us, sadly he could not stop but the driveby was good enough to keep the crowd entertained until out of nowhere Penny and Becky arrived before we spotted Pudsey on the horizon. At this point it was pushing on 11:45 nearly an hour after the planned time however we managed to keep a vast majority of the group intact ready for the shoot.
