Well it’s a couple of weeks now since the Nottinghamshire County Show, and all the equipment has been removed from site and allocated to other events. We had 132 speakers of various types, including music horns, general purpose speakers on stands, Nexo speaker stacks, and regular public address horns. These were fed via 26 amplifiers, 13 mixers, 13 radio mics, 21 cable mics, and three radio links. The outdoor speakers were supported by 65 lengths of scaffold tubing. There was too much cable to accurately quantify, but it must run into miles. Also two double decker and two single decker commentator boxes, four staff, five big van loads of the aforementioned equipment , and one loudhailer. Main ring entertainment was our good friends the Knights of Nottingham, who were as entertaining as ever.
The photos show the farmers breakfast meeting table for the panel of experts for the Q&A session on all things agricultural. For this meeting, we utilised some new equipment from Bose Professional, which did the job admirably.
As expected, there will be some tweaks here and there for the 2027 show, which we are looking forward to already!

Starting the build for Nottinghamshire County Show. Its still a couple of weeks away, but there’s a lot to do, and the job won’t do it’s self!

We have been a bit quiet on the old photos front of late, however today we are at Bedale point to Point trying out some new equipment in the form of a Bose digital processor, and results thus far are most encouraging. This was purchased last summer, but it’s the first time it has been used in anger.

Second job of the weekend; fill this hall with sound for badminton tournaments. Bose 802”s and QSC amplification covered it with ease.

We are back at it! The first of two jobs for this coming weekend, and the second of the year so far that hasn’t been rained off!

A few photos from last year when it was warm and sunny!

Christmas lights switch on in Normanton last week; a view from the mix position.

This weekend we are at the Great North Run. Quayside tomorrow, then move everything to the main start for Sunday.
Found an old photo from days of yore for comparison.

All rigged and good to go at Southport Air Show!
