Marlborough Mop

On Saturday 9th October I was privileged to be asked by the Showman's Guild of Great Britain to help open the Marlborough MOP. The MOP fairs have been held in Marlborough High Street since 1204 and there is still a huge sense of good old fashioned excitement around the fair. I managed to demonstrate my complete lack of aim on the ball and tin stall and was very happy to ride on the Ladybird Ride with three two year olds, and very much enjoyed the dodgems. I am sorry to say that I didn't have the stomach for some of the faster and higher rides but will work on my bravery for next year!
