This is an excellent combination because at the mobile events, the business is not only making money selling tickets; it is also driving business to the permanent battlefields.

At one point we had a half-hour waiting line outside our ticket box!<span lang="en-us"> </span>Not only did the school receive a welcome monetary contribution (we have been invited back for the next five years!) but some of the players at the fete visited our playing field the very next day.
