Nametags at STIA

STIA is now only a couple of days away, and I for one can't wait! Can I suggest that it will save a lot of time on the day if forum members wear nametags. The one that Mike posted on the first page of the Forum Logo & Graphics thread in Improvements & Feedback is ideal. Just print it out and write your name on it. I've been to the last two STIAs and I know that the four hours just flies by, so if we want to say hello to everybody we need to be able to recognise each other quickly. See you on Sunday I hope!

I thought Mike was printing some?
James

Dunno, most of us will have the greatest shirts ever anyway
Mamodman123

If i don't have a nametag..I'll be the one with the bright yellow loco
James

I'll be the one in the pit boots
SPOKESMAN

I haven't printed any name tags - I think we'll stand out though.

Im having my hair cut today for the event!

Im the one standing behind a load of Mamods and Bowmans . . . . than again . . . .

Just been boxing up the engines, should fit nicely in the boot - I hope!
James



What about the shirt Mike? I never got the money
SPOKESMAN

Just boxed this lot . . . .

Dont have a box big enough for the crane.

Never sent any!
James

Thought you wanted one?
Mamodman123

How many tables you ordered Mike?
SPOKESMAN

I dont mind - are you bringing some to STIA? Thats what I thought was happening.
James

Nope, I wanted the money sending to me, and then I ordered them, and I picked them up yesterday, and now I have them, ready to take to the people that ordered them

Ive ordered 1, not sure if i'll fill them or i'll have too many engines
James

I've been told I get what I'm given, so I don't know

Taking a couple of pasting tables with me
SPOKESMAN

One should be OK for me, 2 would be useful - I dont want my stuff too spread out.When everything is boxed upit takes up a fair bit of room, time I pack tools, cloths and my A3 folio of illustrations.

About 120, also business cards - about 120 too, I have done a few A3 signs as well as about 80 A4 sized engine info panel sheets.

Ive had to correct some of the leaflets as I spotted a gramatical error on the front. Printed off another 45 yesterday . . .

Good job I checked it - no-one spotted it on here!!
Mamodman123

I think you've done enough anyway Mike

Couldn't have been a major error for no one to notice?
SPOKESMAN

Spot th error. Its not a spelling mistake - I always spell check everything!

Got it!!!!!!!!!!!

Sixth months!
SPOKESMAN

No, that should have been done . . .

Much worse . . . .
Mamodman123

I can't see it
tmuir

All this talk as STIA makes me want to do something in Perth.
I've got 2 options.
1) Wait for 11 months until the have the next big event at the railway museum and just set up a table or
2) Speak nicely to the history village just 800 meters from where I live that has the old Kalamunda train station and loco in its ground if I can set up a display one weekend.

Now the third point is
3) Can I actually be motivated enough to do 1 or 2.
Mamodman123

Probably not Tony....

4th option, wait a year and come to STIA?
James

I can't see it either

Shouldn't it be 100 members and growing instead of nearly 100?

And top 15 MFF rating? I think we are anyway aren't we?

It was done a while back Jimbo! That doesn't matter too much
SPOKESMAN

Aye I produced these a few weeks ago, I updated the ones yesterday.
James

So it's been changed?

No we have slipped back to 19.
James

How??
SPOKESMAN

Other forum have more posts . . . .
James

You don't say!!
tmuir

We only ever got to 18 and then we got saints FC forum and a couple of others but we also passed a couple of old top 20 forums.
Of the 18 forums infront of us all but 3 have much higher member numbers.
James

Hmmm, but we shouldn't loose out to Southampton FC! That's just offensive!

My excuse for silly posts is I'm drunk (Have been on call for work since 22 December and so no drinking until Monday and then was sick and on medication until yesterday that could not be mixed with alcohol so have 6 weeks of drinks to catch up with).
Whats your excuse?
James

I'm just an idiot
