<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Andrew,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this isn't silly, but you might use pieces
of wood and nails instead of paper for your outside Open Space. People could
write their issues on the wood and then nail them to something... You might need
a lot of hammers, though.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just a thought.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Open Spacers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am opening space for a client in Newcastle (two
hours north of Sydney, Australia) for around 250-300 people on coastal zone
management. For any number of reasons (probably bad ones) we are opening the
space outside in a fort on top of a hill at 6pm at night, people standing! It
will probably be in an outside courtyard, some wind, but mainly sheltered, a
tight space for that number too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone opened space outside for a this sort
of number. Any tips on what to look for or not?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am planning to use 10 mobile pin boards. Maybe
thick paper or thin card to minimise the issues blowing around. Not sure how
to adhere these to the board to stop them from sticking. Not sure how to guide
people into a circle with minimum of fuss while they are standing, perhaps,
with tape on the ground (cement).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any thoughts welcome. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last month I very successfully opened space for
400 in a university lecture theatre. Seems this year is the year of the
impossible open space venues!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Warmest regards to you all </FONT></DIV>
