Behind the scenes (see pictures below), there have been challenges - particularly for Martin Bolton and Brian Barnett who have been master-minding the mechanics and logistics of the float. On one occasion, Martin was struggling to start the engine ... until he realised that the 'start' button had not been switched 'ON'! Then there were big smiles.
