Re: health and safety feedback - for the building
the last aprons I got were about £3 each from Nisbetts, online.
it might be wiser to get BLACK aprons and screenprint them in a light colour, as they will look less disgusting.
alternatively, you could organise a workshop to make lots of aprons, from multicoloured whatever. they'd be beautiful!

Re: hole spacing and tables
it'd probably be best to take one or two of the tables down to the bunker or workshop. that way they will be able to dry properly, and no-one will mess them up, and you'll have plenty of space to work in.

the marble run should be repaired or removed. I will PM martin L about it.
I think the tree is a lovely idea, but I think having peoples faces on it is a little bit weird. how about some other kind of fruit?
something like a tv installation would probably work well.
