Addison Lee booked. Materials are stored at the venue over the bank holiday weekend. | Fri 28 Aug |
| What | Detail | Time |
|---|---|---|
| iOi arrives and sets up |
Check the delivered materials are all present before unpacking. Set the tool area first, it takes the mains socket. Then the signs, one per station. Check the first aid pack is the medical one, and that the fan repair kit has travelled with the wind tunnel. |
8:30 – 9:00 |
| Volunteers briefed on their station |
During setup, at the station they are on. The volunteer guide is what the briefing follows. | 8:30 – 9:00 |
| Volunteers inducted on the tools |
Volunteers use the tools, and they are inducted on each one before they do. Every station with a tool on it needs this, not only the tool area. The 8:30 window already holds the station briefings. | |
| Doors open | 9:00 | |
| Stations open | Drop-in, continuous arrival. All seven stations. | 9:00 – 17:30 |
| Sounds of the Universe | ||
| Tool area staffed | Drill, chompsaws, glue guns, rotary tool. Mains power. A facilitator on the station whenever it is open. | 9:00 – 17:30 |
| The midday prayer (Dhuhr) |
The building gets busier, and some staff and some visitors step away. 15 to 25 minutes with people gathering and leaving. | ~13:00 |
| Staff breaks | ||
| The afternoon prayer (Asr) |
Sometimes later, occasionally close to 6:00pm. ELM's own timetable is the figure to plan against. | ~16:45 |
| Public day ends | 17:30 | |
| Pack down | Tools counted back in individually: drill, chompsaws, glue guns, rotary tool. Tablets and charging cables counted against what went out. Feedback forms kept together. The wind tunnel and the display boards travel as assemblies. T-shirts go for washing. Everything is left packed and labelled for Tuesday's collection. |
