The CartoonChurch Lambeth Conference Marketplace stand

lambeth marketplace stand

The CartoonChurch stand in the Lambeth Conference Marketplace will open on Monday for the best part of two weeks. It will be open from 11am until 9pm most days except Thursday 24 July.

This is the stand in its pre-setup state. As you can see I asked for the following fittings to be installed:

Overall I think the staff have done remarkably well, don’t you?

Please feel free to use the comments to suggest how we might be able to use this assorted equipment. Remember that we need to communicate the ethos of the organisation and sell lots of books.

[Marketplace helpers: Sorry for lack of communication with some of you. I will send you some final information shortly.]

    Two options

    a) A photo oppertunity for ‘Slam Dunk with Funk’ - Which archbishop can slam dunk the best?

    b) Leave the stand as it is, just place a cartoon cutout of yourself pointing at the basket and see what people make of it

    c) Ever so often, when sat at the stall, sigh heavily, scrumple up a large (noisey!) piece of paper and toss it over your shoulder. Should it go through the basket-ball hoop sound an air horn.

    As you may have guess, all three options are not linked.

    With Regards Ever

    Special prize for any bishop who can slam dunk the cardboard box.

    But no pen? Hmmm … Make a paper aeroplane and offer the cardboard box as a prize for the first bishop or spouse to get it through the hoop. Wives and women bishops are allowed to stand on the table to make up for their generally shorter stature. Advertise the box as useful for transporting a mitre home without getting it squashed.

    I think I would have asked for a line of black tape on the floor too, but perhaps I would have been asking too much?

    I am really confused…is this in the cartoon tent or is this stall a completely different innovation? xxx

    Outrageous! One of the chairs is still in a folded state.

    Other than that, it appears to be adequate, although you may wish to save the environment by placing the cardboard box (empty) under the basketball hoop, so that crumpled cartoons may be recycled. There is no FAIL in that.

    Stand on the table. Drop the box onto the floor repeatedly, creating a loud “plop” noise. See who complains. If anybody asks you why you are doing that, tell them you are testing the box to make sure the eggs inside will survive the journey to Mexico.

    Still standing on the table, tear the paper into little pieces. Over the course of two weeks, chew the little pieces of paper into sloppy spitballs and spit them over the divider into the marketplace stand on the right. It looks like they have more stuff, so they might be fun to torment. If they come over to complain, say it was the folks in the stall to the left.

    Still standing on the table, throw one of the chairs up onto the basketball hoop and see if you can make it get stuck up there. Before you do this, warn the people walking behind your marketplace stall.

    Set up the other chair next to the table to make it easy for you to climb on and off the table.

    Seems to me like Lambeth is a Silly Season.

    Ellen - yes, this is different from my tent. The tent is for artistic endeavours, the marketplace stand is for passing on my tracts and selling my publications.

    Veritas - I’m posting silly stuff on here because (a) I’m posting slightly more sensible thoughts on the Church Times and (b) being a ’staff’ member means that although I’m finding out all manner of interesting things I won’t be blogging them.

    good luck with being in two places at once! I have been trying to master the art for a number of years - seems to be quite tricky…xxx

    He is a very funny man. This post, part of his updates on the progress of the Lambeth Conference, is pitch perfect English humour. I don’t think it would be possible to make this any funnier, without somehow involving the Monty Python team… …

    Put upside down mitre on floor underneath basket ball hoop. Throw bishop up into air, try to get through hoop and down so head lands in mitre.
