David Gerard, Wed 16 Sep 1998


Sandwich boards worked quite well at the Sydney September 1996 demos.

The trick with these is to keep them from going all over the place :-)

Use straps at the top (cloth, preferably) over your shoulders. At the
bottom, you will need string to keep the boards from flapping alll ove the
place - about a foot long hanging off each corner; tie together in a bow.

Have a spare picketer or two on hand.
