Hey there folks

Uh-oh, I seem to be volunteering myself. If you're okay with this, I'm happy to sort out a bulk purchase of glowsticks and organise a few of us to distribute them.

(I'm just waiting to be 100% sure I'm going on Friday! My tickets should be with me Monday.)

I could make it to the Holiday Inn around 5pm to hand stix over to willing "distributors". I then need to chase off to central London by tube to meet friends and get on the Clipper. Any hope of leaving my car at the Holiday Inn do you think? Or will I get clamped?

I'll also start a thread for people to sign up if they want glowstix (and only glowstix, not T-shirts, etc). Do need to get a reasonably accurate idea of how many to buy. We shouldn't have to take any unused ones home.

General deal:

* I'm guessing we'll need about 400, but let's see how many sign up
* Suggesting we get the 150mm x 15mm ones
* If we get those, we could pass them on at £1.50 for four, or £3 for eight (obviously). Covers postage, and a tiny margin to avoid getting stung if we don't get rid of them all (quite possible).
* Not sure any one orger should take more than 8, because handing out too many to strangers in your row increases likelihood of some idiot lobbing one. If you only have four or eight, you should have time to "vet" people. You can always wave two if you have spares smile

* With lots of orgers in the same blocks, those blocks should light up like a purple xmas tree, even if we only hand out five or six each.
* Need maybe four people to distribute them? Volunteers?
* Distribution locations - to be revealed. I have a couple of obvious ideas, but orgnote me with suggestions and I'll put a map online for people.
* Remember, if even one gets thrown, we are in BIG trouble. That's my no.1 concern.

Please add your thoughts here (or orgnote me) if you have any suggestions or objections, or are happy to lend a hand with the whole thing.

(What have I let myself in for? smile

)

There are a good number (30-35) Orgers staying at the Holiday Inn right near the Dome on the 21st. We have arranged to meet for drinks before the show around 4 o'clock ish, either at the hotel bar or the Pilot Inn pub which is located in that little park that runs right up to the O2 entrance. Might be a good idea to distribute some of the sticks then....there's a thread about the Holidy Inn meet up, I'll try and dig out the link for you.

good idea

glyn	the orgers attending the holiday inn, sound like a good idea...

colinb	Ok, I've got about 150/180 glowsticks and bracelets. Now a percentage of them are purple, but there are a mix of other colours in there too. If I can get a ticket for the 21st should I bring them all to give away? Would white/orange/green/red ones look a bit odd? Or add to it all? Any thoughts?
