 Poster: A snowHead

Just in case you haven’t spotted it, (‘cos I’ve just come across it  ) Admin has put up the following post on this thread.

snowHeads itself will have a preesence there this year too.
Members of snowHeads (that's you lot) will have access to the Clubs' Lounge, reserved for members of ski clubs and we will have a small stand as a point of contact.
Various members of the Piste Patrol have offered to be on hand to help keep the stand manned but naturally, snowHeads is only as fun as the people who are here so anyone who fancies hanging out, building the party and helping bring enlightenment to poor unfortunates who don't yet comprehend the 'true joy of being a snowHead' will be most welcome. |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 
Some very kind snowHeads have offered / been persuaded that they would like to contribute towards a prize draw! All newbies that join at the show and all  that help to man (or lady) the stand duing the three days for however long they can, will be entered into the draw. The prizes are, so far, as follows:
Helen Beaumont has offered a short break in her self-catering apartment in Serre Chevalier in France that can be taken from the 16th to the 19th December 2008 or 8th to 11th January 2009. Plus two hours personal coaching with Gavin from Eurekaski which in itself, is worth £98. (Apartment only. Sleeps up to 4 people. No flights, transfers, food etc included. Refundable breakage deposit of €200 required)
CEM is donating custom footbeds
Spyderjon is offering a ski-tuning lesson with free tune
Kiwi1 is offering a Demon snow shovel
GBR Sports are giving a double ski bag
snowHeads hats
Fall-line are providing a subscription to both magazines: one for Document and one for Fall-Line as two prizes, including the full package of Scott Ltd goggles, T-shirt, discount card etc.
so even more reason for you to get yourself up / down to the NEC this weekend

Michelle, Now there's an offer I can't refuse - or at least I couldn't if I didn't have a prior appointment with our very own Spyderjon on Friday
Who knows though - might be at a loose end on Sunday too....

You know it makes sense.

Michelle, sorry, completely booked all weekend. I hadn't appreciated this was a call for help, and it's too late for me to unravel other arrangements now. Sorry.

I don't know how the day will pan out, but there is a good chance that BMF_Skier and I will be there on Saturday. We will have the Minimums in tow so doubt that we will be able to commit to formal stand time - the Minimums will want to do stuff and be places I'm sure - I'd like to get them a lesson/session on the indoor slope if I can - they like doing that sort of thing, but there is a fair chance that we will hover and chat for some time during the day during which time I have no objection if someone wants to use me as an example of a 'representative Snowhead'. I hope the Minimums will be welcome to visit the stand as honourary Snowheads too (they do carry the stickers on their helmets for us!) Hope to bump into some of you on Saturday.
If we do this another year and someone lets me know sooner, I am the volunteering type, but we've already told the Minimums that they can come round the show with us this year.
Which stand number are Snowheads on please?

Michelle, Any idea as to what is expected of me? Can I take numbers and then leave obscene voicemails? Apparently it's all the rage at the moment

The user eisbar is from GBR sports.
He's not a big poster but joined in Jan '05 and has been an avid supporter of snowHeads ever since.
GBR sports is the UK distributor of Elan Skis hence the occassional bargains and freebies on snowHeads from Elan.

So, I'll be there from about Noon tomorrow - shall I just saunter by the club lounge and utter the immortal 'Are you Frosty the Snowman?' to anyone who will care to listen?
