Do we have enough personpower to cover this amount of time, considering two
persons would have to be there at any one time to cover toilet breaks and
food/drink breaks.

I can see us going to a lot of expense and trouble setting this thing up and
then having the application rejected.
Backdrops ? Dividers ?

What if the application is successful ? But I guess if they are paying to put
the display on, they have a right to veto what goes into it.

Burglary is probably the greatest risk. What security arrangements do they
have ? The other trains would probably go first, but do you want to leave
thousands of dollars worth of Lego somewhere for four days.

Dare I ask what banner we would be standing behind ?

How about Monorail 3001 ?

Like Santosh I think a smaller show would be better to do first.
We could visit the AMRA show this year just as spectators.
James, I would be seeing who will put their hands up for what days first,
before going to the trouble above.
Liverpool could be hard/time consuming to get to for most people, you're
looking at 13 hour days minimum (incl.travelling).
pete.w(who remembers the show I organised at W4K, and it was Pete.C and myself,
behind a Studs banner (grrr..), though others did offer creations)
