Consolidated (www.consolidatedplastics.com) sells what they call
"janitorial floor signs" for about $25 (2-sided signs) and $29
(4-sided). Rubbermaid Products also sells the 2-sided signs,
and their web site claims they are available at K-Mart, Target,
WalMart, and Home Depot. No price information. These are the
yellow "caution, wet floor" signs made of plastic, about two
feet tall, with a handle on top. They fold flat.
An even cheaper solution would be to snag some 5-gallon buckets
from Home Depot or someplace -- ideally the ones that are sort
of rectangular -- and paint numbers on the sides, upside down.
A potential problem with using those as station markers: course
workers might be tempted to use them for seats. A potential
benefit: they can also be used for storage containers.
If you guys want something like this but nobody has time to do
it, I'll volunteer. However, I won't be able to attend the
February event, so somebody will have to arrange to meet me or
pick them up before then or they'll have to wait until March.
