[Ticket-entrance] Kids under 6 rule and Goodie bag lane will not be implemented

[thomascovenant]

Hello Robert (we start messages to volunteers with a polite greeting, yes?),

that's good but hardly news. We have suggested that the badge is given out by Team Badge already many months ago - and again recently. If situations changes, let us know and sensible adjustments will be made.

We need to assign the available scanners to several teams, Martin will handle it.

I am not involved in the goodie bag operation. Regardless, thank you for your hard work and see you at the field.

Kind regards,
thomas
