We need volunteers once again, please.  

We're seeking three hi-fi/home cinema enthusiasts to come and join us for the day for our regular Big Question feature. It takes place on Thursday 25 August.

If you're interested in taking a seat on the What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision readers' sofa, please email me and I can provide further details. It's always proved a fun and interesting day, with lots of good kit issues to chew over.

You'll need to get yourself here for a prompt 11am start (our photographer starts getting twitchy at about 10.45...). We'll take you out for a pub lunch here in Teddington and then we'll all discuss some great kit in our state-of-the-art testing rooms. And, of course, you'll get your picture and words in the November 2011 issue of our mag!

Any questions, either post here or drop me an email.

Simon, what happens if you're really shy and you don't like to have your photo taken?

Then, with regret, you're really not suitable, given the nature of the feature.

Take a large tub of hair gel with you and hold it in front of your face?

If I ever do one of these (you guys have an uncanny knack of picking the very dates I can't get off work you know...) I'm going to take the mask I made in my avatar and insist on wearing that!

On reflection, it's not a good day at all. You get home and look at your own stuff and think, "Well that's all rubbish"

That is a pretty good idea.

Hi Simon,

 

I know I was lucky enough to be part of the big question before but would love to participate again if you would have me.

 

Best wishes

Well, here's a thing.

Two days after asking for Big Question Volunteerists, we still have a space available. Unprecedented.

If you fancy it, let me know via the link in the original post. I'll get back to you once the weekend is just a vague memory (which means Monday).
