Spirit-of-Cardiff at RIBEX

RIBEX 17-19th May, Ocean Village

We have been offered entrance and the chance to do some fundraising at the RIBEX show on Saturday 18th May
Open 10:00 - 18:00

I am looking for a further five volunteers / enthusiasts
("people that can get money out of other people")
that would be willing to spend a few hours with me, wearing SOC merchandise - you got to buy this yourself - but most of you got the shirt already anyway; handing out leaflets, carrying a bucket and generally making people aware of the SOC and the whole project.

Entrance for you will be free - but I am limited to five plus myself and I would like a few hours dedicated fundraising, then you can go and play - or you can play in between.

Please let me know sometime over the week-end.

It will be a first come, first signed up, with perhaps a few reserves.

I am looking at coming down on the Friday anyway - Brian - and can always meet up with anyone then as well - but Saturday we have been given FREE run of the show.

If you need to discuss call me anytime - 07802295583 -24 hrs

Thanks all and thanks to RIB international Ltd.

Hm, gone very quiet.

If you lot are busy not to worry, have had a chat with James and Wayne(AP's sons) and they may come down.

BUT..let me know if you do fancy a sess on Saturday!

Sorry Nadia, only going on Friday and will be very pushed for time as, weather permitting, I'm hoping to get down to Plymouth Friday evening to pick up Magellan Alpha (ex-B4) to join Brian on his West Country cruise. Or, the way those Atlantic lows are shaping up, his survival exercise...

Okay,

No worries, as I mentioned if it works, great, if not, I'll have a rethink and ask a few others not on the Ribnet Forum

Two tickets gone - Oli and Kev from Cardiff
One for Me - that's three

And AP's crew - looks like we may have our RIBEX team.

Anyone else interested, we can start a reserve list

Need to know by Monday arvo - re getting the list together.

Cheers

Will definately be there Sat - give me a call on 07802795583 if anyone else is there and we can meet up for a pint, I mean chat!

Nadia;

I'd be more than willing to help. I live in Southampton and have done for years, but I am lucky enough to have been born in Cardiff. So your crew is still coming from Cardiff.

If I can offer any constructive help outside of the Exhibition, then I'd be happy to help. If you want to sell rides on either of my Ribs then I'll happily provide the driver, boat and fuel.

We can give you a couple of Powerboat Training courses which you can Raffle/ Auction

Also if there are 3 of you coming up from Cardiff I can arrange for you to stay on a yacht in the Next Marina for free, unless you have already sorted yourself out.

Also If you need any posters or banners or Flyers printed out then send me the File and I'll get it sorted

Let me know, if you need anything; If you need to e mail me any text then thewavehumper@aol.com will get me.

Cheers

Sent you an email - will phone you later to discuss.

Cheers for that. See you at the week-end?

Nadia Lehmann · 16 May 2002, 08:09

Looks like we are all sorted out - for RIBEX
Hope to see you lot down there.
Will be there Friday afternoon and all day Saturday.
