NOTTINGHAM GOOSE FAIR 2013
Captured both on the Thursday and the Saturday, 2013 Goose Fair appears to be two different fairs due to contrasting weather conditions over both days. Aerial rides were prevelant in a year in which there were many

RACE-O-RAMA: Recent years have seen several of these smart modern rides built, although they have a similar action to the erstwhile Whip rides of a few years ago. Witnessed building up in very warm conditions at Buxton in 2013
