More photographs of our big weekend at Preston Rally. (Click
here for Page 1).
The stand was manned
throughout the weekend by (l to r): Mark Evans, Dave Collard,
Susan Marsh and Nick Laister.
Campaign children
seemed to love this little kiddie's car ride.

Laister on the Big Wheel.
Susan and Nick riding
high. "Is that really a queue at the Save Dreamland Campaign stand?"
asks Susan. "I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that we aren't at the stand?"
said Nick.
"Perhaps we should do a few more rides - the Campaign could really
benefit from that."
Dave and Mark take to
the wheel, whilst Nick and Susan return to the stand. "There doesn't seem to be many people at the Campaign stand,"
says Dave, astutely. "Nick and Susan just haven't got it", says Mark,
insightfully. (Fact: Susan Marsh actually signed up more campaigners
than any other person. Ever. So don't believe everything Dave and Mark tell
you).
On Saturday evening,
the Campaign Team paid an unannounced visit to the 'All New Dreamland
Fun Park'.
Paul Freeman, Sarah
Vickery, Mark Evans and Dave Collard took a ride on the Dreamland
Waltzer. One of them came off the ride somewhat worse for wear (clue:
she is the one holding the bar tightly with both hands).
She struck fear into
the hearts of
Thanet District Council officers at
the public inquiry in 2004 as the Campaign's advocate. Susan Marsh MBE
looks brave as she prepares to enter Dreamland's new Ghost Train.

platform.
It is Sunday and the
Save Dreamland Campaign is back at the Preston Rally for a second day.
Sporting the new-look campaign t-shirts and baseball caps are, from left
to right, Mark Evans, Dave Collard, Nick Laister and Ian Mansfield.

The two Scenic Railway
dragons were kindly loaned by Paul and Rhyannon Freeman. As modelled by
Dave and Mark.
The general
consensus amongst those who stood in the field all weekend was that the
event was a big success. Check out the News page
for news of more Save Dreamland Campaign events.
The Save Dreamland Campaign would like to say
thank you to the following people:
Thomas and Jimmy
Henry-Botton who operated the Ferris Wheel at the Rally
Trevor Williams
who owns the Dodgems and Gallopers, in particular for his assistance
with allowing us to place our banner on his Dodgem track.
Paul and Rhyannon
Freeman for lending us the dragons again.
Michael List
