Show goers enjoyed a wide variety of music and dance performed on two specially dedicated stages; fashion shows from budding designers as well as sports and activities, including football and fencing. Former Olympic javelin gold medallist Tessa Sanderson paid a visit too. 2008 promises to be even bigger and better.
