One of the things that was said at Stoneleigh was we ought to have a club flag, one of those sail flags that sticks in the ground or under a wheel. Cheapest I have found is here SAILFLAGS either £89 for a square type one or £129 for the curved type. Does anyone know anybody who we can get it cheaper from? I can probably get the artwork done for nothing, unless someone knows were we can definitely get it for nothing.

This then leads on to the question of payment for it, this is a free club with no membership fees etc. Danny already pays for the hosting of the server, he cross funds it with advertising off his other sites, so we very lucky on that account. I don't want to scare anybody off & if you don't want to pay then that's fine just thought it would be nice to bring a few more diverse members in & make us look a bit more professional. Please send me a PM if you are willing to contribute & by how much I will not disclose it to anyone, just show a running total.

Alan, this is a great idea!!!

Im happy to pay towards it as the help and support i have been given on here has been priceless.

Although im happy to pay towards it could we not make one for cheaper than this??? It would only need some box section steel welded up to create a fork piece that a car wheel could sit over and then a simple poll. Im sure we could find somewhere that could print the banner for a good price???

Im happy to do the welding etc and i even have the buggy in the workshop here so can test it out.

Jason :p

Jason,

Don't think the pole is an issue, I 'think' Simon (esdebe) may already have one, I can fabricate a spike/clamp/bracket/whatever it's the actual flag/sail etc. Please by all means find a cheaper alternative hence one of the main reasons for the post.

Count me in, (I'll PM you later)
It would be nice to show people we are a CLUB, just a pity there were no details on how to buy a kit.
There seemed to be quite a bit of interest this year, I know I had a few people ask me where they could buy one.

I was thinking more of the sail flags so we can be seen from a distance across the show field, a banners okay but you have to be close to see it.

Completely agree alan, was just thinking that if he can do a banner of that size for that price then maybe i can see if he will knock up some sail's for a similar price?

Either way im happy to give some money :)

I have 2 plain white sail flags (ready for screen printing) 2 flag poles (bendy type, though think one may be broken :-( ) and 2 sky guys. I also have spikes for the poles and 2 metal stillages to put a buggy wheel over for the poles and a stand banner.
I will be more than happy to donate these to the club.

I find their stuff fantastic value and great to talk to.  Good bunch and got a discount when I called!
Be useful to get some more poles?

The man's a hero

So do we just need a screen print shop now? Will they need printing both sides or just one?

The sail flag material is really thin so would only allow screen printing, and only on one side (as far as I'm aware)
Unless you can get a teeshirt printer to print the that plasticy sort of stuff onto it, then 2 sides may be possible??
I am car-less at the moment so unable to transport up to you, do you know a good auto-electrician?

No worries if we get them both done inverse of each other they can go each end of stand.

Again not an issue let me knoe when you're in & which side of the road you're living at & I'll come over. Yes, but you need a mortgage to pay him!! What's actually wrong?

On that point -- it was recently mentioned in connection with Stoneleigh -- but I can't find the post........ I gather a few people expressed an interest in building a buggy.  Has anyone heard from Dave recently --- annyone know what is happening on the production side of things ?

Yes the simple answer is no, I was one of them people who asked, it made me upset to know that no more people can enjoy the buggies like we will. Although the occasional one does arise on ebay :)
