And so it is with a heavy heart that we declare that our trailer is beyond repair, and that unless we are able to find another similarly sized trailer for a good price, it looks like this is the end of our journey with our TARDIS. π
We have upturned the trailer and looked at the 2 split pieces of the main body of the frame, but there is nothing we can do to repair the splits, so we have had to completely dismantle the trailer and break it down to be scrapped altogether. We've saved any bits that we think might be useful such as the electronics, lights and fixings.
It's gutting that we weren't able to go out in the way we wanted - our original plan was that this year would be our last year of providing our service for weddings and parties, but we would choose selected local conventions and events to continue to attend. Obviously dad is now retired and has other hobbies and commitments, and I still work full-time, so it's always difficult for me to get time off work, so we planned to call it a day after our last events of this year.
But now, as of today, we have no way to transport the TARDIS anywhere - the price of hiring a vehicle every time to get it anywhere would be high, and trailers are quite expensive. Rest assured that the TARDIS is still safely tucked away in my shed, we now need to decide what we are going to do with it next.
We are looking around for a new trailer, but if it's going to cost too much, it just won't be worth getting one for the reduced workload we will have going forward.
A big thanks to all those who have supported us, whether it be by having us at their wedding or asking us to attend a convention of event, it's been wonderful to help out and to meet people who have enjoyed spending time with our TARDIS, raising money for our chosen charity, and we've been very lucky over the years to meet many guests who are associated with Doctor Who who have all been lovely.
I will be editing our website to state that the service is no longer available, and it will become more of a tribute page to what we got up to and the good times we had.
I will be contacting all those who have made enquiries with us recently to let them know what's going on in case they don't read this post, and I will let the organisers of events we have already confirmed with that we now will not be attending.
I will keep you updated with any further news of what happens next and if we get to attend any events, but for now, we're signing off.
As the Tenth Doctor would say: "Alons-y!" π«‘
