Hi Guys,
I'm trying to find out where this Elusive sheet of PolyCarb actually is..
Originally, it was supposed to be ordered with SideTracked's order for our arena.. This didnt happen, so the plan was to get it shipped directly to Mulfords in Brisbane for you to pickup, but apparently there was some question as to whether we would be able to get the same price for you if we did that..
So then it was supposed to be arrive at SideTracked on the Friday before the RoboWars event for Andrew (Vertex) to pickup and take back, Friday came and no sign of it, so I chased it up monday, and found out on Tuesday that Mulfords Melbourne was now out of stock which is why it hadnt shown Friday.
Apparently its not too far away from being in stock again, but I dont know if it will make it before Christmas or not..
I'm trying to find out, but all this is happening third-hand, since its the now-departed (He's moving to Brisbane) ex-manager of SideTracked (Marc) who is friends with the State Manager of Mulfords, so I ring Sidetracked, who contact MArc, who talks to his friend, and then the reply has to come back along the chain.. hence the delays.
Sorry about all the screwing around, its turning out to be a major PITA for what was originally "Hey could you guys order an extra sheet when you get yours please ?"
I'll let you know as soon as I know anything.. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

sorry for the delay in responding again guys.... I'm slowly getting back to normal after the Xmas rush (in a hobby shop, Xmas is chaos defined)
the elusive polycarb is finally close to being organised. the new manager at "sidetracked" is organising for the PC sheet to be organised through the Brisbane depot of Mulfords, at the "sidetracked" price of $200. I'll know more soon....
the 23rd is the date as far as I'm aware too, the polycarb is the only thing stopping it at this stage.
even if the polycarb isn't here for the 23rd, everyone is welcome to come up the range for a builders meet at the very least. That way we can pool thoughts on making the site better (e.g.-the best method to organise the pit area, start lights in the arena, parking, antweight arena location, etc, etc) It's all good. _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.
