Steve Allison kindly took a few minutes out to explain some of the show's content. There would be shells up to ten inches in size, and the general idea was to create something innovative and a little different. There would be lots of multibreak and Italian effects, culminating with a different style of finale.

Back over at the spectator area and we were treating to a stunning show. The crowd particularly enjoyed some of the well choreographed coloured rainbow sequences. Well done to the team and many thanks once again for letting us have a look around.
