posing for photos and signing autographs.<\/p>\n<p>We were also delighted to meet Del Mason who has raised a significant amount of money for MAYA by auctioning hand knitted figures of members of the Time Team, and who had come all the way from Leicestershire especially for this event!<\/p>\n<p>The day was a great success with a lot of positive feedback from members of the public.\u00a0 A huge
