Might be able to supply a couple of the pop up blind units minus the blinds. You will have to get the blinds printed somewhere. Got the spec of whats required etc. They are s/hand but more than serviceable.

Well I have finally got the carpet tiles
I couldn't find anyone anywhere to touch our local 'original discount retailer' Trago Mills (
http://www.trago.co.uk/ ) for price -£1.74 per tile-320 needed!
Unfortunately the Newton Abbot store, ten mins away from me only had half of what we needed and the Liskeard store ( an hour away ) had about three quarters. Being a 'backward'/traditional store they wouldn't reserve the stock in Liskeard. I offered to pay over the phone for them but apparently they aren't 'set up to do that' :shock: Like I said, a, ahem, traditional store.............!
So I took the gamble and bought the half needed at the Newton abbot store on Saturday and as I was passing Liskeard today for work I picked up the rest. With just half the amount in the car it drags its arse-these things are dam heavy!!!
The blue ones are the ones I've got.
What nearly £600 worth of tiles looks like
I spoke to Tiny about the rest of the money we have raised. He suggested as next year is the 100 year anniversary of Morris we hold on to the cash and use it next year. If anyone has any ideas? I'd like to get a couple of blind like pull up banners as we haven't actually anything in the club we can use to say who we are!! We have plenty of ...... Region banners but nothing else.
Thanks again for all you donators. Hope you pay us a visit at the NEC this year

Its that time of year again
I actually had a donation arrive in the post a couple of weeks ago - Thank you sir.
I KNOW there are a couple of people out there that have promised to donate but haven't yet and some others that might like to? Seriously if you can just spare a tenner it would be gratefully appreciated. As its the centenary this year it would be great to have some more banners/flags etc to 'decorate' the stand with.
Please use the paypall address
donations@morrisital.org.uk or send me a cheque in the post made out to the club. My address has been in the mag or pm me for it.
Thank you all in advance.
