Stoney would be good - its big enough, there is sufficient parking, there are limited exit points so counting would be straightforward and the bacon and egg sandwiches are excellent.

Also it is quite central to England. About the only thing against it is that it is not in Yorkshire.

There seems to be some concensus that it would be a "good thing" especially if as PeeBee suggests we do it for the YD charity but then I see Air Guzzler mentioned that it is on other sites as well.

Stoney sounds good. I would be up for it and could probably drag a few mates over from East London too.

If it looks like RNLI is going to be the YD charity it would be worth speaking to their PR people and seeing what kind of event and at what location would have maximum impact.
Maybe the ironing thing has been done to death and there could be something that links to their fund raising efforts.
Top idea though and I'd be up for it.

Cheers

I'd be up for it if I can get twin J-cylinders manifolded by then... 12's aren't big enough.


I think Stony's a pretty good idea. I've not looked at the links but isn't there a scoring system involving number of divers and the depth it's performed at? Anyone any idea what sort of number of divers we'd need to do it at 6m or 22m shelves?

Sounds like fun!

We'll have to invite Norris McWerter along to get the official record... Is he still alive?

I see no reason why people from other clubs, forra etc can't raise their own money for their own charity, bet we could get some good numbers into stoney.
