Myswag fund raising movie nights - north brisbane - screen update
« on: April 29, 2017, 09:48:14 PM »
Kerry and I have been thinking about the idea of holding fund raising movie nights at our place...

The intention is that we have 3 monthly kids/adults movie nights in our backyard (acreage).  We would charge a cost/person/family, the proceeds would either go to Myswag server costs or RFDS.
We were intending to also have a camp fire going.

So, my request is....
1. How many would interested ? North Brisbane
2. I have a data projector. Anybody that would be able to help with building a portable outdoor movie screen ?


Thanks

MarkVS

Hey Mark,

Mate we would come along to support the cause. Kids would probably run around instead of watching a movie, but that doesn't matter either. Reckon Sixpac would be in also.

What are you thinking here? Drive in watch, few drinks and P.O or Swags, fire, movie, a few more drinks and crash the night?

Time permitting, I could lend a hand by driving sixpack over so he can help :)

Sounds like a great idea Mark. If I lived closer I could loan you my LOTR dvd's.

By the way, I've been reading a few of the posts on here, and it seems there's a tradition of people that organise raffles and fundraisers can often end up with a new 200 series. Are you in need of a new 4by by any chance?

What size screen are you looking at?
I have a screen that came from a classroom in the shed.  It hasn't been looked at for years and could be rusted away or rat chewed but if it was big enough I could drag it out and check it over.

Gee, that's sad. At least here, on the North side, we have our classrooms in schools ;D ;D.

Seriously though, if the condition is OK, mate & useful to the cause I'm more than willing to collect & drop off to Mark.

Justin, our thoughts were..
- to have it outside...we have a big screen inside our games room, but thought it would be nice to have an outside screen...(inside would be plan B in case the weather is crappy).
- people could bring their bean bags/ chairs, sit outside and watch the movie.
- Start off with a kids movie, earlier in the night, and then have an adult movie after.
- We have a campfire area, so we woild have that going....
- anyone that wants to stay, could. We have an acre, not not a huge amount of area, but we have had people camp over before
- and as for the drinks, this is Myswag.  :cheers:

So the help with the screen, is more to help build one for outside....

I also had an idea for a screen
I've got quite a bit of 90mm pvc pipe including bends and joiners
To make a frame up
An old tarp and zip ties
Just need to buy some vinyl paint or similar and paint it white

For some cover
I also have a 30' tarp, poles, pegs, ropes, eskys and beer :cheers: :D
A spit roster could be handy  :D

Can I park the Caddy in front of the big screen like a drive-in?

May not be much room for camping if that happens though.

We came from a small town that had a population of 165, and school was held in the shed behind the two man police station. One combination teacher/headmaster. It may only be a shed, but it was a big shed and we didn't think it was sad at all.
Hang on, that may be BS.
The screen came from a Tech College, and it just going (if not already gone) to waste and could do with a new home. I will be back home in a day or two and have a look at it and measure it. If it is big enough and not toasted, for such a good cause as myswag fundraising I am happy to give it away.
