tolf Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi all I will be publishing the rota for 2016 in the next few days, a massive thank you to all of those who have volunteered their time. We do need a few more people for the following shifts: Sunday 2-4 pm parking duty 2 people read Monday 2-4pm drop off area x 1 person, parking x 1 person, meet & greet x 2/3 people and auto jumble x 1 person. I am aware that on Monday this might be classed as the graveyard shift with lost of people going home, but we still need to ensure that WSCC marquee does not look empty and devoid of members. Please get in touch asap if you can help with any of the above areas. Many thanks Ian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 iwouldnt worry too much about the parking later monday - it tends to look after itself later on as people see where to park - only thing to watch for is other people parking with vans, trailers, non westy cars etc - can look a mess and i guess wscc has paid for their own space!

Exactly, which is why we need a couple of people to cover the parking for the late part of the afternoon. Any takers out there please?

tolf Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oh yes I forgotWe will have several hundred helium balloons to give away / tie to roll-bars / tie to committee members etc! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just google'ed this An average sized helium balloon holds about 14 L. An average person is about 80 kg. Helium can lift just about 1 g per L. You would need 80000 L of helium to do the job, so 80000 / 14 = 5714 balloons Have we got enough to give this ago 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd make an interesting sight floating over Stoneleigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Aye, and with so little body mass, if we give you a few puffs of helium to breath first, only the dogs will hear you scream 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
