OPEN DAY GARDEN !!!
The local Village twisted my arm to let our little thatch show its garden for the annual WHERWELL GARDEN DAY !
Oh the stress that it caused me ! getting the garden ready in no time as I was busy with work so it was a little busy! It was harsh and with the glorious weather was quite a strain on the garden due to the heat !
so by the nic of time it was as ready as it was ever going to be lol open to the public!
I was very humbled ! that people seemed to like it... i enjoy our garden .. its my thinking time !!!
and wish i could have a bottom list pit of money for it !!!
over 250 people attended our little garden ! ( I thought about 20 at the most)
So with all the gardens it raised over £1,500 for the local Church bless!

PRINCE CHARLES 70TH BIRTHDAY PARADE
AT the Royal Cornwall show we created the Parade for the Prince's Countryside Trust to celebrate his 70th Year Birthday!
Full of floats, the Royal Plymouth Marine Band ,70 Cornish choir ,70 dancers from Jason Thomas Academy,and the support of over 500 people all involved with the Price's Country side trust.
A fun Parade ... Nerve racking as no rehearsal as such, the previous day we managed to rehearse the floats ... but on the day we had horses cattle sheep dogs & children and 500 people !
but it all went like clock work ! Dougie was amazing as ever ... the lesson learnt follow up everything ! he is a master at that ! he talked to everybody pre planning the event so built a relationship with all so any last minute changes were done so smoothly.
Hats off the amazing Simon Brooks Ward and all the team at H Power !
Prince Charles and Camilla seemed to enjoy the Parade in his Honour !
The weather just stayed unil the end when it rained a little ....
But great to part of the production ! with my ear phones on and queuing I was happy as larry !

The Late Late Show JAMES CORBEN
I was asked to create a JOSEPH DREAM COAT with comedy sleeves for no less than James Corben for the Late Late Show . They were filming his musicals on the zebra crossings in the centre of London ! but had only 3 days !!! so the Check Events team rolled up their sleeves and made the costume and it worked fantastic ! I spent the day filming as I had to roll up the fabrics the vast coat in small bag... and re set the comedy arms .. It was a interesting day watching everyone at work... ! how filming has changed... so many more people involved than the old days !!

write up on High Jinx !
A Blackpool magician was among the artistes showcasing Britain’s status as an events’ destination at a glittering international gala. Michael Jordan’s High Jinx show, which runs at Viva Blackpool throughout the year, was one of the acts taking part in the launch of MeetGB - a VisitBritain conference aimed at encouraging overseas firms to host their major corporate events in the UK. The gala night took place at Church House, Westminster Abbey. It was directed and choreographed by former Pleasure Beach artistic director Antony John and also featured Blackpool circus artiste Valerie Murzac. Michael, from Huddersfield, is back in Blackpool with his High Jinx family magic show for the seventh year. “It was an incredible show to be part of,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of big corporate jobs before but this was a different level. “The whole idea of the event was to tell big companies that they can and should have their big corporate days and events in Britain instead of going abroad to places like Dubai.
