Firstly, thank you for the overwhelming offers of Goodwill, Support and crucially, Practical Help.
There are so many people to thank, I wouldn't know where to start, and I would hate to miss anyone out, so I will publish a list of everyone involved at some point in between Christmas and New Years' Day.
Where we stand today, is I almost have enough Co-opted Organisers to ensure we will have a successful Day on Wednesday.
I need to ask you to direct your ideas, questions and time and effort
to the people listed below;
Banners and Flags
Everyone is, of course, welcome to create and design their own.
But we need someone to ensure we have enough displaying Messages that define the March, and therefore the Objectives behind it.
So if you can make a reasonable looking Flag or Banner, but need some inspiration, Billy Byrne will be happy to provide you with the Theme and Wording.
He can be contacted on Yellow Board, or by e-mail billyj.byrne@ntlworld.com
Media Contacts NW Region
If you have the name, number etc of a Regional/Local Newspaper/Magazine/Television/Radio or Web based Publisher, please forward the details to David Meller who can be contacted at david.meller@gmail.com
David will ensure they are contacted, if you think that it may have already been done, please forward the details anyway. He will collate who has and who has not responded, and we will keep on keeping on, until we get one.
Media Contacts National
If you have the name, number etc of a National Newspaper/Magazine/Television/Radio or Web based Publisher, please forward the details to Nyree Hood who can be contacted at nyreehood@hotmail.com
Nyree will ensure they are contacted, if you think that it may have already been done, please forward the details anyway. He will collate who has and who has not responded, and we will keep on keeping on, until we get one.
Printing of Handouts etc - TBC Saturday 17th December
As most Printers have now closed for Christmas, it is an issue of Mechanical Availability, but we have an offer of help from HTH, and two Printers(individual printers that is) willing to do the work for free, however in each case they need to confirm that they have the Capacity available.
IF NOT, DOES ANYONE HAVE A HIGH QUALITY/SPEED/VOLUME PHOTOCOPIER THAT THEY CAN OFFER THE USAGE OF?
Leaflet Dropping
Contact Greg Hall
We have a number of volunteers for this, and special thanks to Tim Whitwey(?), m0ssey and Joan Plimmer, but this is going to be a bit of a short notice job, and we want to get 10,000 minimum out there,
So e-mail SandbachHatter@hotmail.co.uk if you can deliver,
provide Greg with your Name, Mobile Number Postcode Home/Work
and he'll tell you what area(closest to you as possible)and you'll need to deliver them straight away.
Safety Marshall's
Ian Brown will Co-ordinate a number of Marshals required to ensure we can make as much Impact as possible, but to keep the Disruption to a minimum at areas of the March where we are simply in transit, i.e. some of the legs along the A6, we want to be noticed, but will gain nothing from stopping the Traffic.
And in 'Areas of Interest' such as the Town Hall and Leonard Curtis, he can help liase with the Police to ensure we don't embarrass ourselves and the Club, but stay right on the edge of what is permissible and cause as much 'Noise and Colour' by default, rather than design.
He has asked me to confirm he is not a former Director of anything, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Stone Roses, and is just a namesake.
He can be contacted on Yellowboard and by e-mail madhatterib@aol.com
If you can help and would like to volunteer as a Marshall, or are able to provide
High Visibility Jackets, Vests or Bands Ian would like you to get in touch.
Voice For Radio? Camera Friendly Face?
Contact me on 07890 748 566
or david.schofield08@yahoo.co.uk
I am coping OK now we have some extra Organisers, but the Media response has been incredible, and I might just need your help as we get nearer to the event.
It's not for the Shy, and it's not for the Beautiful People without the knowledge of our plight, but there are people out their who can do it.
So say hello as soon as possible.
Support Vehicle
We can't thank YellowBoards "Cheadle Ender"who has agreed to provide a 14 Seater Minibus FREE OF CHARGE
To follow the March, and in doing so afford those with Kids, The Elderley the Infirm and anyone who is simply knackered can have a rest.
Just Fantastic Work
And Finally
WHAT HAVE WE FORGOT ALL ABOUT?
Post your thoughts here please.

Are 15 year old's allowed too go?
ReplyDeleteYes Sam, no problem at all, we're expecting plenty of younger Cildren with their Parents, and there will be loads of Teenagers, Students etc.
ReplyDeleteWithout wishing to sound like your Nan.
Just tell your Parent(s), or whoever you live with, know that you are going and what you are doing/.
It will be noisy, it will be colouful, and passionate County Fans of all ages will be doing their best to support the Club.
But it will be organised, and above all else peaceful, otherwise, we'll just look like a bunch of Football Hooligans who deserve everything we get.
