Topic : RYA 2009 DINGHY SHOW - MROA STAND VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED!

Its 2009 RYA Dinghy Show Time and we are looking for volunteers to staff the MROA stand

Where? Alexandra Palace, Wood Green, London N22 7AY – nearest tube – Wood Green

When? – Saturday & Sunday 7th & 8th March

Volunteers should commit to a minimum of two consecutive hours on either day as follows

10am to 12 midday
12 midday to 2pm
2pm to 4pm
4pm to 6pm

We need two volunteers for each time slot

A free entrance pass will be provided. You should be reliable (i.e. turn up on time) and be pleasant enough to chat to stand visitors who are interested in joining the Merlin Class. You’ll need to collect contact details and keep the stand neat and tidy. Assorted committee members will be in attendance at different times.

It is intended to provide all volunteers with a MORA Dinghy Show T-shirt so please indicate size required for all volunteers

‘Small’ = Aprox 36inch chest - ‘Medium’ = Aprox 38 inch – 40 inch chest

Any question, let me know.

Hi Martin, I'd be very happy to help out on the stand, no problem about being there
on time. I could do Saturday 2 - 4pm and a 'large' size T Shirt should be OK.

I can be contacted on 0794 1118819 or by e-mail

Hello, I will be there on Sat, and will do either 12-2 or 2-4, coming from Northern lands so the early/late shift wouldn't be amazing.
Presumably you will confirm who's when a bit later on?
I'm a small please.

Hi,

I'll be there for the Sunday - looks like a good deal - only 4-5pm and then the "clear-up" -moving boats/stand materials etc.

I'm planning on being there for some hours before, I'll dorp in early and if anyone wants to have a break, let me know.

Just want to know where / how we get the entrance ticket?

ALso will there be somewhere on the stand to leave bike gear or should that be left in the organisers office?


Posted: 01/03/2009 18:30:50
By: Andy M
sorry,
there is no where to leave personal stuff on the stand.


Posted: 02/03/2009 11:51:59
By: Stand Manager
Ok, I'll do the same as last year.

But what happens about our tickets?


Posted: 02/03/2009 17:40:53
By: Andy M
IIRC there's a cloakroom tho' I think they charge. Through main entrance, bear left and up the stairs (unless they've moved it, of course!)

2 merlins on the MROA stand and one on the Harken stand should be good -is the new wooden boat all polished up and ready to be drooled over ?


Posted: 03/03/2009 15:10:01
By: .
When I caught sight of it about 2 weeks ago the decks had been varnished, both the inside and hull had been painted and fit out was just about to commence. Not a 5 min task by any stretch of the imagination given that it is to be fitted with the one string set up. 

Can't get to the show unfortunately but it would be good if some kind soul takes lots of pictures for the merlin web as this boat really has broken the recent trend.

Still no reply to my question about the ticket for entry.

I presume it needs to be mailed out so could whoever is organising the stand please email me so that I can provide my address, before it is too late!


Posted: 03/03/2009 18:54:09
By: Andy M
Or do we turn up on the day and ask the sumo wrestler lookalike in a shiny black suit on the door for a ticket on production of a printed off MROA stand roster, pictorial ID and current MROA membership sticker/boat registration certificate?


Posted: 03/03/2009 22:11:05
By: Peter 3112
There will be a very limited number of exhibitor tickets available on a first come first served basis for those registered in the above roster. (You will need a passport sized photo - I think there is a photo booth in the entrance hall) - Just call me 07715 121542 when you arrive and I'll come to the entrance with them. 

Alternatively, when these have run out, you should buy a normal visitor ticket & get a receipt. I'll reimburse you on the MR stand.

See you on Saturday

Martin
P.s. regretfully little or no space for bike gear on the Merlin stand

Martin, you said I should contact you about reimbursing my entry ticket. I dont have an email address for you so this is my only method of contact. If you could email me I would be obliged.

Done.
