We were hired to provide security for a 50^th Birthday party out in the sticks near Newquay in Cornwall. The party was hosted by Selina and the birthday boy himself Geoff. They informed us that their son may have posted the party on Facebook, therefore our presence was essential. The guests were all informed of this and some even asked whether they had Facebook accounts. You can’t be too careful you see! Norman and myself were on car park duty, ensuring that all cars were parked…somewhere. Not anywhere near to the badger set I thought I’d seen though. Or was it a fox? One guest even popped down from London in his helicopter and landed in the field. We weren’t sure if helicopters were allowed, so we gave him a parking ticket just in case. After our disappearance the party got well and truly into full swing, with some great entertainment – comedy waiters helping to serve the food and drink around the tables and provide another talking point for the partygoers to…talk about.

As you all should know by now, this job take us all over the UK and we get to meet interesting and lovely people to boot. Lovely people need security for their parties too! Norman Bush (Head of Security) and myself were in the Northern Borough of Stockport somewhere near Manchester I’m told. We had been hired to provide a secure entrance for all eight dinner guests into the property of the hosts with the most Dawn and Derek – a lovely couple. The guests were a little confused I must admit that there seemed to be a need for security at what they were told by the hosts was a low-key social evening.  You can’t argue with local council regulations though? You need Security Guards at any party with people invited. Well, in Stockport you do! With all guests safely into the building, A1 Security Services (that’s me and Norm) job was complete. The dinner party took another twist for the guests shortly after though. Two loud Aussie waiters were on hand to help serve the food and drink in the dining room. They were very good in an odd way and lots and lots of laughter could be heard outside…if only the windows had been open!
