Le Petit Lumeçon - Sunday, 2 June 2024
The Petit Lumeçon allows a total of 3,500 children participating in the rope, distributed in the different areas of color on the Grand Place.
The priority of priorities naturally remains the safety of children. In order to experience a Little Lumeçon in the best conditions, please follow scrupulously the 5 steps explained below:
1. Measure between 1m and 1m 60
Children must wear a T-shirt (not paying) of a specific colour depending on the height of the child (between 1m00 and 1m60). The child must be able to stand alone. No booking is possible.
2. Place du Parc from 9 a.m.
T-shirts must be removed from the distribution counters at the Place du Parc and accessible from 9 a.m., exclusively via the streets of Nimy and then Marcottes.
Attention: the presence of the child is essential at this stage, given the need to measure it. And there is no need to present if the child is less than 1m or more than 1m 60 (it will be removed from the device).
The height of the child is measured by the organization.
A coloured T-shirt is then handed over to him, with a name label and numbered for his identification (also with the Belgian GSM number of the parent; no fixed telephone number). This color is also that of its zone on the rope.
The parent then receives a strain of the colour of the T-shirt, taking the child’s identification number (to be memorized – the colour and number – for safety). To be kept absolutely.
After obtaining his T-shirt, the child, under the responsibility of the parent, is invited to join the Grand Place following the route "Rue des 4 Fils Aymon – Rue de Nimy – Grand-Place".
Attention: it is in the queue, in a specific place, that the parent receives, per child, a “prestain” on which is indicated in particular the colour of the T-shirt required.
If there is no longer a “pre-stain” in a colour, this means that all the T-shirts of this colour have been distributed. At that point, all expectations become useless. No more children are then admitted (sending to the Police to get out of the scheme).
3. On the rope from 12 noon
Access is via a window specific to each colour area. A neutral zone creates a separation between parents and children. Adults who are not part of the organisation are not allowed to enter and must remain behind this “traffic ring”.
In the areas, the wearing of the coloured T-shirt is mandatory. The Petit Combat runs from 12.30 pm to 1 p.m.
4. The HQ in the Salle Saint-Georges
A headquarters is set up in the Salle Saint-Georges next to the town hall. This is where parents are invited to come and pick up the children evacuated during the Little Fight.
This headquarters is in constant communication with the medical clinic located in the Sacquiaux room of the town hall.
Parents are invited to consult their GSM regularly (a sms prompts them to search for their child(s) at the HQ).
5. At the end of the Little Fight (1 pm)
The exit of the areas after the Little Combat is via the counters, child by child. Parents, do not forget the identification strain (except for black T-shirts, the only area for which access is free). All the children still present are obliged to return to their area and leave via the counter.
