Thread: Sydney TWWW - calling for volunteers to man the WWF stand

Cool

Ruddy, looks like we are on together on Saturday morning.

We can catch up and I can tell you how your old tablesaur is going.

If you're at the show and don't drop into the forum stand, you're out on ya ear! could be The Forum or could be the show or could be the matrimonial bed

I'd be happy to do Sunday early afternoon if it's not already taken. (I didn't bother looking through all the previous posts

about those good experiences.

I'll only be at the show on Friday (though not if the weather is
absolutely foul), and I gather that Friday is already well-manned?
But I'll come to the stand first thing Friday morning after I arrive,
and find out then whether I can make myself useful during any slots
later in the day.

Cheers.

How about I put you in for an hour at 11.30 am?

I've put you in for a couple of early arvo slots, Thanks.

I gather that Neil arranges this. I will get back to each of you with the nfo when we have settled the roster, if that's OK

OK, but if the weather is foul, I might not come, so you'd best
mark me down as a "tentative".

Although... hmmm.... my only reason for not attending in foul weather
is that I don't want to wait a long time in the ticket queue. (And I guess
it's a bit late now to get the special advance discount thingy posted to me?)

So I guess we need clarify soon how the special entry thing works?
Does something need to be posted to me, or do I pick up the tickets
at a special place outside the venue without having to wait in a long
queue, or... what?

(I don't really care about paying the $15 -- I just don't want to queue
in the cold rain...)

I have asked for an explanation of that and will get back to you

OK This is how I understand the system has worked in Melbourne and Brisbane.

We will have a small number (say about 5) Exhibitor Passes for the people manning the stand. The first person on the stand each day will have to get them from a central point (say Neil) by phoning him when he (or she) is about to get to the gate. Neil will then come out and give that person the passes and they will go to the stand.

For everyone else during the day, they will ring the person on the stand who will come out to the gate and given them a pass.

When you finish on the stand you will hand in your pass to the others there.

The last person on the stand each day will give the passes back to the central point ready for the next day.

I am wondering whether we ought to invest in a cheap prepaid mobile for people to ring (unless Neil has a spare phone and number he can give us - I would be happy to arrange for such a phone and Neil can take custody of it for this use at each Show).

Here is the pdf of the roster as at 4.30pm today.

There are still some spaces to fill (esp on Sunday 20 June in the morning). Please let me know if you can help out or we will have to miss out running the stand (I'm not sure if we can run it on only the first two days or not - let's really try to get it going for the whole time!!!)

Sorry but I can't imagine that working most people are going to be there all day, not just for the start time of their shift.

Maybe a situation of pay the discount entry fee and have it reimbursed when you have done your time at the stand. Just a thought
