The weather was not looking good at 9.am but the show must go on,the back doors were open and the stall holders were on time as we needed to get everybody setup quick as we were looking for an early start. Danny the caterer was just seting up outside, a new venture for A23 Catering, just 1 stall outside the woolybacks auto jumble a favorite with the punters. By 12.00 the weather was looking good the doors were open and the the entrance was geting busier by the minute a bargin at 3 quid.Scooterists were arriving from all parts of yorkshire, Linconshire, Manchester, Newcastle and beyound. The car park was stating to fill up lets not forget this is a family day cars welcome.
This would be the 3rd year the YSA were at the Frontier as always being better than the last one. the YSA stall hosted a set of new shirts, with this being our 10th year an anniversary shirt was on sale and lets not forget the bigest achivement to date the world record attempt for the most paraded scooters across the Humber Bridge pre orded tee shirts were on the stall for pick up and 10th anniversary jackets were on sale [see shop for details]. The days entertainment kicked off with Johnny and Mark on the decks playing the best sounds around in the scootering scene.
