It was pleasing to see that 12 Roedale club members saw fit to vote in favour of attending the Brighton Centre next February, this is a fine level of support. These votes in favour now need to be turned into positive attendance and support during the three days.
It takes a minimum of 6 members to run the track, and this does not include refreshment breaks, wandering round the exhibition or going to the loo. As the event runs for 3 days, the minimum number of member days required to run the stand will be 18.
With 12 members having voted in favour of supporting the event, they will need to be there for at least a day and a half minimum to actually cover the event. However, if we factor in refreshment breaks, loo breaks and wandering round the exhibition, in practical terms, each member needs to attend for a minimum of 2 days.
Chris has posted the dates of the event, and I would suggest that everybody, starts to plan which days they will cover, and lets Chris know in good time so coverage can be worked out for the 3 days. Remember, if you voted in favour of attendance, you need to actually give the minimum required level of support!
I appreciate Friday can be a difficult day as many club members are at work but some members have actually taken the trouble to book a days holiday in order to attend on the Friday. I am sure that some of the retired members would be happy to cover Friday providing others do their fair share on Saturday and Sunday.
Last year, on many occasions, we only had the bare minimum of 6 on the stand and occasionally even less! Let's not hear Chris having to ask, "where's everybody gone?" in 2010. Finally just to re-iterate, if you were one of the 12 in favour, you need to put in 2 days minimum.
