Hi everyone, another mail with a proposal after a talk with team Onsite logistics (the people who drive the really big machines) and terrain on the subject of when kids are allowed on field.

Although we love child labour as much as everyones, buildup is quite unsafe for kids. Last time (2017) we had a few scares involving children, which we do not want to repeat. Therefor we came up with the following timeline:
Thursday July 14, up to and including Tuesday July 19 (day -2) kids < 12 are NOT allowed on field. Kids older than 12 helping out with a parent/caretaker nearby are allowed, but be very aware that the entire field is not a place to explore and play. They MUST wear a high-vis at all times when outside their tent, even during non-working hours. If the child is not helping out, they should be in a designated safe area (to be determined by team Terrain) where Manitous and other heavy equipment will not roam. If a parent/caretaker fails in their task of keeping the child out of harms way, they will be asked to leave the field and come back on day -1 at the earliest.
Tuesday 19 we expect the last mayor deliveries (Boels Party stuff, big things with tables and chairs etc) and that requires a lot of Manitou Manouvering from Manduca and his crew.
Wednesday 20 - Day -1 should be the first day we allow kids < 12 on the field. This is the day village buildup is probably beginning, but i can’t find the details on their wiki page. This day and the next few days we’ll still be seeing the Manitous graze the fields but hopefully at a slower speed and with guidance from a lookout.

Please let me know what you think and if this matches your timelines, I’m also looking for feedback on phrasing. I’m maybe too blunt or not blunt enough.
