Fundraising for the NEC show stand.

[balmy]

There are some cheaper ones on ebay that look the same but only in black. I had a quick work out that at 80m2 we would need about 220 tiles which works out at about £520.these also come with the edge bits.

Have you a link to this seller please? Had a quick look but cant find them that cheap!

Dave I have spoken to a chap I know who does exhibition stands for a living,he has told me that the NEC aren't the easiest to deal with when it comes to floor coverings.They have to be a certain spec,fire retardent etc.They can also be a bit funny about you putting your own covering down over their floors.He's had problems in the past with them wanting access to the underfloor connections etc.I think that before we use them at the NEC we had better make sure that they will be happy.

I think the flooring you describe is a foam rubber type which is cheaper and lighter than the more expensive PVC (We have PVC tiles covering our factory floor!)tiles which is great for moving around to different stands but not to sure about flamability.
Good idea to check with the NEC first or you will waste money and time
I am looking at doing my garage in PVC tile but it looks more than £550 for a 6M x 2.8M garage

Paul,that's more than my front room carpet!

We've carpeted the club stand at the NEC before with contract carpet and never had any questions.

The problem last year was that we had cut it to fit different shaped stands so many times before that it looked more like a bunch of offcuts rather than a proper carpet. So we did the stand with just the NEC floor. That's why we're raising money this time around.

Good tip around fire retardency though.

Thanks everyone.

GOOD NEWS

We currently have raised £636.40 in total.

This includes some money from the club - agreed at Sundays AGM.

It was also decided to go for carpet tiles - for this we should have enough. Thanks to everyone that has donated so far.

With any left over cash ( or if anyone else would like to donate a little? ) I will purchase some banners as we found last year we had no signs or banners that didn't have just MMOC on - we only had ones with branches on ( I bought a couple with MMOC on and Devon and Cornwall branch plastered on them - Tiny has whippet division on his )

Please if you can spare a tenner or more then it would be great! Names of all donators to be published in Understeer.

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Well done David.

Don't forget, you can donate via PayPal at donations@morrisital.org.uk

How about one or more of the pop-up blind type of banners? I can supply the logo images from the flags.

The pop up blind type ones are the ones I'd prefer actually.

Once I've got the carpet sorted I'll see what we have left!

[MarinaCoupe]

Great, we could use them at the Resto Show as well.
