Hi, can anybody help?
We are looking for a milk float for Bath Fringe Festival and Little
Fiets, a clean energy arts project.
We either want to buy, hire or borrow one between 1st May and the end
of June, and have a couple of projects lined up for it.
The first is to deliver Bath Fringe Fetival programmes round Bath (
see www.bathfringe.co.uk) and then to take part in The Wheel Thing
festival of clean energy, cycle power and dynamic arts.
We are building a new cycle powered Scalextric circuit and using this
to encourage kids and adults to generate electricity while having fun.
More info and pictures of the prototype we made last year here:

The idea is to enable the Scalextric set to travel from place to place
using power generated by its players by tapping off most of the
current generated into batteries while the rest powers the cars round
the track.
The float will also be equipped with solar panels and equipment for a
mobile stage.
We have a few hundred quid, but the difficulty seems to be finging one
for sale at the moment - is there anyone who sells floats on a regular
basis I wonder?
More information about the Wheel Thing will be posted on
www.littlefiets.com soon, but in the meantime please mail me -
simon(at)littlefiets.com or phone 07969 041322 if you've got any
ideas. Another former Wheel Thing clean energy project documented
