This year we need more volunteer than ever before!
Not only do we have our commitment to help Europa(2004) run their stand but
demonstration area in the PFA homebuilders tent.
EUROPA(2004) STAND
The Club will be supplying a display aircraft and Andy and John will be
manning the stand. The Club stand is next to the Europa(2004) stand (which
is at the end of a row and has plenty of space for display aircraft). The
Club would like to provide two people for the period from 11.00 to 17.00
Friday and Saturday and from 11.00 to 16.00 Sunday. So proposed shift are
11.00 - 14.00 and 14.00 - 17.00. With the Europa staff present this should
allow everyone time to talk to potential customers and have comfort breaks
without feeling too overloaded.
For anyone doing three hours or more you will receive a free ticket. Sorry
no percentage on sales.
If you can help us out, please contact me direct. Please give the hours you
would be prefer to work and your home address (needed so tickets can be sent
to you). I will then try and work out a timetable and contact all who have
volunteered.
COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION DEMONSTRATION AREA
Nev Eyre and I will be about to help out but we need are two people at a
time to man the stand. So why not do it with a co-builder (or friend if you
still have any). If you cannot persuade a friend I will be happy to pair
you up with some other suitably insane aircraft builder. The proposed slot
are 11.00 to 14.00 and 14.00 to 17.00 (16.00 on Sunday) on each of the three
days (but we will try to arrange things to fit your attendance).
The task will be to talk to those who visit the stand, answer questions and
to demonstrate working in composites. We are not expecting you to be give a
lecture on the subject just to talk to those attending about you experience.
We will provide some example pieces in various states of construction and we
expect to have a composite fuselage (probably a Bambi) that you can show
visitors round. We will have available suitable moulds for joystick guards
(needed at base of stick for stick boots), overhead cheese wedge panel (with
curved sides which fit unlike the factory version) and maybe others. Please
let me know if you want to make something else. This is a perfect
opportunity for those of you who want to make something small but are
deterred by having to buy new epoxy, glass etc.
You will get free entry to the Rally (all days + camping if required) for
doing a session. You will get to keep the beautiful demonstration piece you
produce. Volunteers for less hours will be very welcome but PFA largess
will not extend to free tickets.
You do not have to make something specific but all the basis material and
equipment will be to hand. We do suggest you bring your own gloves (for
comfort but we will have disposables available if you forget), face masks,
overalls and any favourite mixing sticks etc.
Please give the hours you would be prefer to work and your home address
(needed so tickets can be sent to you). I will then try and work out a
timetable and contact all who have volunteered.
