Place: Avondale Racecourse, 90 Ash Street, Avondale

We will require 400 extras on Monday 25th of August for large crowd scenes, re-enacting the large riot on Queen St. We primarily need slim Caucasian men, but all will be considered.

Women willing to be dressed as men and have hair pinned up in a hat are also welcome.

We will provide costumes and period haircuts for those who are prepared to have them. Those with the period haircuts will be closest to camera.

We require 400 people for five hours on Monday morning 25 August to be the mass marchers. We need also need to keep at least 150 for the remainder of the day to recreate the marchers scrambling from the Police.

If interested, please let me know your availability on this day, as to whether you can do the full day or just the first 5 hours.

Here is the information I need from you:

A clear photo of yourself

Every volunteer Marcher will wear a hat and in the band of each hat will be a number. At the end of the “big” March and the action sequences surrounding it a number will be drawn out of a hat and a big prize presented. There will also be another prize draw at the end of the day for those that do stay on for the full day.

We will also need 50 extras the next day on the 26th of August. Again there will be prizes drawn at the end of the day.

Also - Sunday 7 September - we will need 30.

Thanks very much. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Yvette Reid
