In keeping with the "toy" and "kids" sledging we'll recieve there, do you
think we could get by with a super soaker? a big one though.

Yes a Test run is essential, maybe more than one.

James, Am i guessing right that this is in fact a Competition? That is to
say that all displays will be judged against a series of criteria? Do we
actually need to satisfy all the competition conditions? Can't we just go
and display?
If it is indeed a heated fight off, perhaps we'd be best staying out of the
way. I know that places like the Parramatta Police Youth Club hold train
displays in their hall every so months (there's a one in Winston Hills in a
few weekends time). Wouldn't it be better for us to just try a few of these,
and once it gets popular ask to be invited to such larger displays?
I'm not saying we shouldn't go to Liverpool, but do we take the approach of
working from the top down, or bottom up?
