So, there was no pool this weekend as we are at the Heckington Village Show with our Stellar Show Stand. Heckington is the biggest village show in the UK and is deffiently worth a visit next year.
We had a lovely time meeting loads of lovely people and making new friends.
We had a prize draw on both days to win a Discover Scuba Diving session, and we had a fantastic response.
I was surprised how many qualified divers visited the stand who wanted to start diving again and do a reactivate. Also, how many people didn't know that there was a PADI diving school locally in Lincolnshire.
I would like to say a massive big thank you to the Dive Show Team this weekend. You did an amazing job and made the whole weekend an absolute pleasure.
A huge thanks to Chris for his help on Saturday and a massive thanks to Carlos for his help and company on both days.

Well, what a lovely two days doing our first stand at Winterton Show. A little windy and some sore feet.
We didn't know what kind of reception a Scuba Diving Business would receive, but we were blown away by the response from the public and other stand holders. So many people said we always wanted to try Scuba Diving but didn't think there was anywhere local.
We also had a prize draw on both days for a Discover Scuba Dive, and we had nearly 200 entres, amazing.
The show team had some great fun with visits to the stand from a mermaid, a fairy, and the local T-Rex
The T-Rex was very keen to learn to dive, so we hooked him up with our amazing I nstructor Gaz W.
It was a great pleasure to be able to give Andy Meakin his Black Dive Master shirt.
Absolutely fantastic. achievement.1
A big super thanks to the dive show team for all their hard work and being abosulutely amazing with all the people visiting the stand and around the show ground, Margaret, Ian, Gaz W, Steve R, Max, Karl, Julez, Andy, Steve S.
A very big thanks to Ben from Magnitude for his amazing work with the graphics and banners. They looked great.
We are putting a stand at the Heckington Show on the 25th and 26th of July, so you are all welcome to come and see us.
Have a lovely week and come on England next Saturday.
