The centre of Durham is closed to traffic from 7.00 am.  How have members managed to get the table, banner, lit etc to the racecourse in the past?

I emailed this question to comrade JB who used to organise having our stall there and his reply is:

In the past it's been a case of us turning up before 7am at the gala – always with a car which is parked on the main field behind the gazebo ( stall holders are allowed vehicles on the field) – it makes for a long day though as you usually can't get off the site until about 5.30 pm.

This year we won't have an official stall but when I went there once I just parked my car anywhere and walked. Two people should be able to carry a paste table and bag with pamphlets to the field and set up an unofficial stall (as has been suggested). In the past we had a gazebo (which is still in JB's house in Newcastle) which would be a different proposition.

Thanks Alb.Way back we would just turn up with a handful of Standards and a few leaflets but i have noticed a table and banner more recently and I couldn't understand how it was done. I had offered transport in my car but I cannot commit to 7am to 5.30pm
