wow there's so much enthusiasm right now!

I hope we can keep it going until the event! If SCO gives up now,
they've helped us out through motivation. The longer they try, the more
people will join in.

Starting to get pricey. If a company wants to help out then great
though. How expensive is press-on labelling?

Yeah people should be wearing cool shirts. But it's really up to the
individuals to buy them before the event, and they don't have to be
standardised or anything.

all of Australia. Maybe we have a trial run, write-up our experience on
the website, then help the others to do the next one all on the same
day.

Have fun,
