What a night! At 6.15pm last night the doors were flung open at Newark Showground and within seconds the very first customer purchased a copy of #themightytrent. What an amazing feeling that was. Having sweat blood and tears over the past 18 months or so, my project had actually gone live. I cannot describe the buzz it gave me and from that moment on I had a very orderly queue in front of me that didn’t relent for the next 90 minutes.
Wayne Crier took the payments, Dave Leach stuffed the carrier bags and I signed the books and had a very brief chat with the customer. A well oiled machine. I do wish it could have spent longer with each customer as folk were saying lovely things that, believe me, were truly appreciated, but had I taken any longer I would have still been there now and folk in the queue would have been getting pretty impatient!
Let me just say here, thank you everyone, enjoy the book. Indeed, I’m really looking forward to your feedback.
As for the evening itself, check out the audience in this short video. The turn-out was sensational and a small fortune was raised to fund the junior section for another year. Well done to all involved.
So, book sales are now live and on sale directly from the Little Egret Press website. Pre-ordered copies start being dispatched today so keep an eye out for the postman in the coming days if you have ordered a copy. It will make any angler a welcome Christmas or birthday present.
