Studs has around 6 people? the mugs are keen maybe two of them, assume half
the Studs can't make it on a given day and a MUG is sleeping, that's still
3-4 people. The layout won't require 2 to operate (one imagines) so, we
should be right.
The biggest drains peoplewise will be setup/teardown.

With some canny words we might get all this done for us. Assuming LA wanted
to help out this'd be the sort of stuff the could do. Otherwise I've got
access to most of this already, I'd need to call in a few favours though...

As i said in the earlier reply to Santosh, the reimbursment is a cut from
the public entry money .

The place will be very secured, think of all the rest of the stuff there.
All one problem with security and AMRA can say goodbye to most of next
year's exhibitors. Trust me, they'll be keener than you to avoid any theft.

If necessary we can give an individual as a contact.

I agree smaller show, but we need to keep AMRA-NSW in mind. As for workers,
fair enough. Show of hands then?

James (who remembers the show too, except he had exams the following week...)
