This is a really random plea NSC, but does anyone know where I can get a couple of full size male mannequins from, for an event for Brighton Baseball Club on Oct 12?
I've tried charity shops, FB Marketplace, eBay, Freecycle etc, but had no joy at all so far.

Anyone work for a place that uses them, and can loan a couple out for a weekend?

@El Presidente may have a couple but you might need to give them a good wipe down with a damp cloth.

Seem to recall @Superphil issued a similar request for mannequins so he could display some football shirts at a club event a few years back. Think he was successful in the end. Can't remember where he sourced them from tho

That wasn't a mannequin - that was Chuba Akpom

I was loaned them from the Student Union at the University of Brighton.

I actually emailed them about an hour ago, so fingers crossed!

I remember you asking a while back for some mannequins, what happened to them, or did you not get any joy

Apologies, I meant @Superphil
