Sunday 28th - The previous owner of the van having gone back to North Wales, we were on our own! We managed to set up with no problems (once we had remembered all the instructions!) and got off to a flying start - as soon as we opened up we were inundated with customers. It all got a bit hairy at one point as orders were being fired in from all directions. But order was restored, and we learnt some good lessons about how to manage a busy session. Quite early on it became apparent that we were woefully under-stocked and we were going to run out of chips before the concert ended. Mark had to make several dashes back home to get more stock from the freezer, but in the end we had to admit defeat - we had sold every chip, sausage and fillet of fish that we had. It was a really fun night, we were really happy about how we had managed, and we were able to give a very healthy donation of our profits to the Sea Cadets. We could not have asked for a better start to our new careers!
