Helping with car parking at CRT open day

For two hours on the 21st of July, I helped with car parking for the CRT open day. I was, with one other person, the first person on shift - we were given fluorescent jackets, and safety instructions, along with, of course, instructions on how to park the cars. We were told to organise them in rows, but, when I was instructing them as to exactly where to park, the neat line did begin to falter a little... Fortunately the other member of my team of two was able to straighten the other lines out, to avoid a knock-on effect. The aim of the day was to help people better understand the link between farming, wildlife and the food that we eat. They feel that it is important that people are educated in matters that concern them. It was an enjoyable day, with lots of people attending. The CRT say that their mission is to rotect the farmed countryside, its wildlife, and the people with the knowledge and skills to look after it – and to communicate that together these represent a strategic resource vital for our future food security. The objective of the day was to re-enforce that statement, and to communicate to the public how important the  work that they do is.
