I was considering setting up a donation pot nearer the time for the stand. That way it can be as good as you lot make it! Im happy to do the organisation but as I'm sure you can imagine, the club isn't made of money seeing as we work on donations anyway so wouldn't be able to fund it out of the usual donation pot.
Balloons are a must. I was just thinking about a load of blue red and white ones in some bunches tied to a few of the cars but i like the idea of the "306oc" ones!
I think the issue is going to be 100 balloons is about £50 but 500 is only £85 and that would make a serious impact. Sadly the cost of helium is astronomical. If you use the disposable party cylinders its about 40 balloons for about £27 (75p ish pb) and if you want an industrial cylinder to inflate balloons its a f*ck load of money which is a real shame as I think it would be an incredible impact. 50 cars, a bunch of 5 balloons tied to each wing mirror or a bunch of 3 (one red, one white and one blue) tied to each wing mirror and each ariel or rear wiper would be brilliant.
I'd love to see a few cars absolutely filled to the roof with multi coloured balloons but can't imagine it will be much fun all of us sitting inflating balloons for 3 hours on the campsite on friday evening.
Obviously now isn't the time to be looking for donations, spring time would be a good start I guess. I guess we need everything costed before we start asking for money like first £50 buys a new banner, next buys a load of french flags, and then if we hit 400 then all of the balloons!!!
