Cooma Parade Update 23rd March 2016

Kevin and I have just been to the meeting that was well organized, precise and brief. There are 54 different groups and 250 people involved. We are using Kevin’s ute as the tow vehicle.

Our float is number 32. Steve has volunteered to be the walker ( a requirement) and will carry an A3 placard displaying our number. An announcer will give a brief description about our float as it enters the roundabout at Mack’s corner. steve will also have club flyers to hand out, if anyone is interested. Ian has volunteered to ride shotgun with Kevin.
I will do my best to video / photo our float and the parade. Our float starts on the Commissioner st side of Sharp st then single file from the bridge to Soho st.

The parade runs in Sharp st only from Bradley st to Soho st and disperses from there into Creek st or boundary st. It starts at 3 pm and finishes at 4 pm.

Kevin and I will set the frame up on the trailer on Thursday afternoon.

If each member brings at least one model on Saturday morning, starting about 9 am, and assists in fixing to the frame with cable ties we should finish by midday. I will have a sausage sizzle and soft drinks/ tea/ coffee at my place for any member that wishes to stay. If you intend to stay please either email or ring me (64525484) so I can organize catering.

The float will return to my place where members can help remove their models.

There is an electric glider competition over the 4 days of Easter at the NAAS field south of Canberra on the road to Adaminaby. I may go up on the Sunday. I will have 3 or 4 spare seats if anybody is interested in going. I would leave my place about 9am and be back about 5 pm.

See you at the parade
