Every year I knock up something to hold the 2 banners, then it ends up being cut up & used for something else.
Every year it gets to 2 days before the show before I realise we haven't got anything for this year.
Maybe we can employ several small children to hold them.

[Manky Monkey]

Yeah, they've been canabalised for something else Dave.

You into bondage then Craig

[Manky Monkey]

Gaffer & Jaffas -perfect!

Cable ties might be useful if you've got them Craig. Thanks.
Bunch of broom handles bought from local hardware store -banner mounting problem sorted.
Is there a collective noun for broom handles? A Trigger of broom handles maybe.
Van rented to cart 2 half built Yamahas there & back -one year we're actually gonna make it there with everything moving under it's own steam -but not this year.
Only other requirement is a gazebo of some sort. We've got the patented Loony Marque of Many Shapes, (I swear it ends up a different size & shape every time we put it up), but to be honest, it's a lot of hassle to sort out, although it does provide many hours of entertainment. Anyone got one of those pop-up jobbies? Yeah, I'll probably regret asking that.
I've arranged another dozen vehicle passes. Anything else we need?

Right-o.
No time to post out the passes now, but I'll send everyone my mobile number on Saturday. Just give me a shout when you're in the queue at the gate & I'll nip up with a pass. The marshals know us now though & usually just wave you through if you say you're with the Manky mob.

Will the broom handle hammer in Andy if I remember the ground was rock hard?

[Manky Monkey]

Spoke to one of the organisers this afternoon & he says it's fine for vehicles but softer than last year after rain in the last couple of days. I was thinking of cutting a length of metal tube with a disc welded on one end & a handle, to act as a post banger-inner.
