Preparations for Lincolnshire Show 2013

As the 129th Lincolnshire Show gets ever closer, I’m rather excited to see what this years’ Show has in store. Hopefully the weather will be nice as last year we had two extremes. On the Wednesday it was incredibly hot, but on the Thursday the Show suffered from torrential rain which caused flooding.

As I have done for the past two years, I’ll be stewarding at the Show again this year as a Health & Safety Steward.

My role as a Health & Safety Steward basically involves me (and a small group of others) patrolling the Show looking for potential issues and also responding to calls on the radio. Last year we responded to a number of incidents (all minor luckily), but a team is there should something happen.

The Countess of Wessex will also be visiting the Lincolnshire Show on Thursday this year (http://www.thisislincolnshire.co.uk/Countess-Wessex-visit-Lincolnshire/story-18857334-detail/story.html#axzz2S15p8lA9).

For live updates throughout the show, follow the official Show Twitter (@lincsshow). I’ll also be Tweeting from my personal account (@AdamOwen95).

Lincoln Grand Prix Cycle Race 2013

Today I helped out at the Lincoln Grand Prix Cycle Race, looking after the spectator’s bike park.

This was the first time the organisers had introduced an area for spectators to leave their own bikes securely and free of charge at the event.

It proved highly successful with around 80-90 bikes being left in the area through the day. There were many positive comments from the public, and it’s hoped that the area will expand next year, which will allow for more bikes.

Here are a few pictures of the bike park and the event in general:

Oh and I managed to get a very nice purple sweatshirt too which I’ll be wearing (thanks Ian!).

Zombie Run UK (Lincoln) 2013

Zombie Run UK

I enjoy helping out with local events, so when I saw that there was going to be a ‘Zombie Run’ event in the Lincoln area, I couldn’t refuse the opportunity to get involved!

If you haven’t heard of it before, here’s an extract from their website about what the event involves:

 Navigate through an off-road 5k course, battle through obstacles and avoid the blood thirsty infected hordes to become the ultimate survivor.

The event proved extremely popular, and there was a fair queue for registration!
