From: GUEST,Skipy I think with 20 festivals, 17 folkforms, countless years running clubs, village quizes, & assorted functions etc. etc. I am well through the 10,000 barrier. If you feel that you have not stacked enough then at the end of the next event that you have enjoyed - go the extra chair! It really cheers up the organiser! Skipy |

It's a good number mate, and considering the Health and Safety implications of chair stacking in this day and age will be difficult to beat. I trust that you now carry out the requisite actions of Risk Assessment and Method Statement before even one chair is stacked and then not exceeding the permitted stack height. There are indications that new European legislation may outlaw the stacking of chairs in any public place. |

Without giving a source, that's just peddling another rumour, and there are too many rumours littering this place. I agree with Skipy. No evening is compete without stacking a few chairs, unless all the seats are nailed down. |

From: Mooh Having worked on a jobs where setting up and taking down chairs was part of the job description, many, many thousands. These days only after choir practice, and at events where I happen to be hanging around at the end, do I stack chairs. I kinda miss it... Peace, Mooh. |

From: Bill D well, in 29 years in the same folk club, I have done my thousands of chairs, plus helped assemble and disassemble stages, tents and scaffolds. (Our club runs 3 events each year, one is a two day, 6 stage festival with weeks of prep...) Lots of fun...*grin*...and you meet the most interesting people while hefting strange objects! |

I always seem to end up putting them out, but when it comes to stacking them again, I always seem to be busy doing something like lugging the bands PA about or such like.... |

At the weekends it was the local youth club bus... removing a third of the seats gave us room to bolt down the cabinets holding the AL stuff. It was always a bus. LTS |

22 Jun 06 - 11:05 AM (#1766581) Subject: RE: BS: How many chairs have you stacked? From: GUEST Never stacked all that many chairs. But I have stacked laundry hampers - the 85 lb variety. Thousands. The industry standard is to stack them 6 high. I'm proud to say I often got them 12 high. Of course this makes unstacking them a problem. |
