Hmm, what's science made complicated, then? >Apologies for cross posting... > >I am seeking help from anyone based in London who may be able to >lend/sell or get us some propane >gas on Tuesday 12th January for a TV programme. >'science made simple' have been invited to give a 60 second pitch on >a new ITV show - similar to >Dragons Den , but less about business equity and more about giving >money to good causes. The >programme is called Millionaire cash giveaway and is made by Fever >Media who make Dragons Den and >Fame Academy. The panel will grill us with >nasty questions and we have to persuade 3 of the 5 panel members to >support our cause - which in our >case is funding to go to 100 schools that don't have the funds for >science enrichment. It will go >out in January. > >We'd like to take one of our biggest and most theatrical >demonstrations to the studio - which is our >large 2m Rubens tube. (Flames come out along the top and it responds >to sound!) but it needs >propane, and as we are traveling down late evening Monday on the >train it is not practical/safe for >us to transport it. (and keep it in our hotel) > >We could arrange for BOC or similar to deliver to the studio - but I >just wondered if anyone who is >London-based may be able to help us? I am waiting to find out >exactly where the studio is located, >and should know more details today. We're happy to pay something for >the gas and associated >transport costs if necessary. If you think you might be able to help >us at all, please get in touch >with me at [log in to unmask] or on my mobile 07791 755070 > >In addition, if anyone is interested in the programme and would like >to come along and support us >(and cheer very loudly!), we have 20 spaces for audience members. It >is very late notice I know, and >it is at 9am on Tuesday morning - but some friendly faces would be >very welcome if you think you'd >like to come along.
