FCS Stand - Your thoughts...

[Simo]

Hey Peeps,

I'd like your thoughts...

Firstly, if anyone is planning to purchase Saxperience stickers at the FCS, please let me know NOW, as I will be making a final sticker order tomorrow.

Secondly... The show stand at Saxperience. What are your thoughts on a marquee, flag, banner of some sort?

I really have next to no time to arrnage this stuff, but if we can agree something quickly, or what you think will be cool... I'll try to sort it out.

No idea where to get flags made smileys/smiley5.gif But I do know 2 firms who do signs... but they're not cheap!

Your thoughts...

[welshy2k]

simo i'll by buying a few stickers from you at the fcs so count me in smileys/smiley20.gif

[Girlscanrace2]

signs/banners would look kool simo!

[oz_borne]

oooooh, this sounds exciting. last year we saw other clubs with this sort of stuff. Is fantastic seeing us thinking about it.

possibly .....we could sort cars in teh hierachical form of sax p i.e. mods, premium memebers, memebers etc. would be a no fuss way to organise. It would also be a way to have those MODDED mental cars in with normal cars so they can attract people to cars on the standard.

We could stick a few out the front to get peeps interested in the stand, simo's harper's, dannyelks if he's still coming, but then we get in to realms of who's is better than who's.

we could also go for a colour by colour thing, NOW THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT> clump all teh like coloured cars togehter!!! LMBO! © sax-p

A banner with http://www.sax-p.com/skins/Saxperience/v3.2.1/coolblue/hdr-logo.gif would be tres cool, but probably expensive.

and as for flags, have the same design on as the cards we've all just been given, 4 of them to mark out corners of sax p ground!!!!!

my thoughts.

smileys/smiley17.gif

smileys/smiley14.gif

[welshy2k]

well most popular colours of saxo are blue black and silver i very rarely see gold red orgreen ones and white ones are as rare as a dodo in glasgow guess we will just need to wait and see then wont we smileys/smiley17.gif

[oz_borne]

LMAO!!!! #
but you're right dude there would be few of some colours. ANd then there's the C2s!!!!!

smileys/smiley14.gif

[Girlscanrace2]

i wont be on the stand as i have my driving test this week and i dont know if i will pass or not so i thought no point getting a pass for the stand!

smileys/smiley14.gif

[Girlscanrace2]

[Jon]

simo, i've got a few web addys of banner makers in the liverpool area if your not too far away, a few of the lads i know who are going to istanbul using them at the mo so probably gonna have left it late to get yours made but for future shows? let me know and ill get you the addys mate.

[boz]

i know there is a company in morpeth northumberland that make flags but i aint got a clue of their name smileys/smiley5.gif i no they can do things in a hurry coz they made some for the grand prix in australia couple of days before it. i remember reading bout it in the local paper.

[Saxonator]

iv just got back from a vintage rally an i was surprised to see there is a new group of modifying ppl startin up an they all had either hats or shirts with their logos on

just an idea i dunno what price they can get to

[Dan]

signs an banners sounds great, not sure if there are any plans on who goes where on the stand? what do you think simo?

[Deanlppl]

find somewhere who does big smooth fibreglass panels, or similar, of the color you want, then just get some stickers made up, and DIY it maybe. prolly work out same price though.

[Simo]

Just spoke to my regular printer who can do a banner no problem, but I asked about flags... They are happy to print any design onto a flag, but I need to supply the flag.

So... Where can I get a plain flag.... Oh, and what we gonna do about a flag pole????

Do you best peeps... I gotta go to a meeting now smileys/smiley5.gif

[scotty_04]

i will see if i can find some poles at work as theres loads of stuff just lying around smileys/smiley17.gif

[jaybiss]

football flag poles

just an idea

and also

can i bring my gazebo for the stand cuz im thinkin bout that smileys/smiley17.gif

[Simo]

Was planning to have a gazebo or two... Not bought one yet though.

If you have one and know how to set it up, no problem smileys/smiley17.gif

[welshy2k]

just use the standard citroen radio Ariel smileys/smiley17.gif

[jaybiss]

cheers

ive just gotta take it down now then smileys/smiley17.gif

corner flags would be good for your flegs, just pop into jjbs

[JamieB]

or pop down to your local football pitch and 'borrow' soem for the weekend!! smileys/smiley17.gif and put them back on monday minus the sax-p flags

shall i bring my union jack tent!!! will be another good thing to look out for as how many of these do you see a day?

oz - how can u forget that my car is also white!!! think mien and scotts cars will have to be at the front as they are by far the best colour, none of that two tone gold stuff!! smileys/smiley17.gif (love your car really oz!)

[oz_borne]

Evil bastard.

Think Simo will have his own ideas for this, but would everyone be ok to just get in order when we get there?!

smileys/smiley14.gif

[boz]

i have a gazebo if you want me to bring it down? smileys/smiley2.gif

[oz_borne]

i have a gasebo too

smileys/smiley14.gif

[welshy2k]

bring them people smileys/smiley17.gif

[Dan]

i could get a gazebo too as a mate has one! id like to hear some ideas about positions on the stand tho.

[Simo]

Hey guys... we dont want the stand looking like a shanty town smileys/smiley17.gif

Still not confirmed plans for flag/banner...

Proper flags with flag pole are knocking on for £175 plus printing smileys/fcuk.gif

Banners are between £70 and £300 depending on size, amount of colours, etc smileys/smiley5.gif

Not sure If im going to have enough spare time to sort this out though?

[Foxy_VTR]

Thats a lot of money Simo, then again they could be used show after show and would probs be good for the long run. Maybe if you just get one or the other for now and maybe get some more for Trax??? Maybe if everyone chipped in a few quid it would be better, everything seems to come out your pocket!

[Simo]

Realistically, its going to have to be one or the other this time, as spent far too much on sax-p this last 2 months smileys/smiley5.gif

I will try and arrange something tomorrow afternoon.

[DevilDamo]

sorry to give my opinion at such a late time in the thread, but the flag/banner is a brilliant idea.

we had one for surrey modified. it was ok, but looked a bit out of date (compared to the rest). i would like to get something arranged before fcs, but then i would need to know exactly what we require in terms of sizes, fonts, wording, etc...

so simo, maybe something you are only able to do on your own and then i dont see why the sax-p show stand members cant chip in AT LEAST £5 for this banner!?! say there are approximately £50 people on the stand, so a good £250. but this depends on how much money YOU have to spare, but you will be getting it back on saturday/sunday. maybe wack it on a credit card or something? only a suggestion.

[GreenSaxo]

[DevilDamo]

just another thing. this is probably something that is not majorily important, but are there or will there be any stand layouts (who parks where, etc...)?

[jaybiss]

Hey guys... we dont want the stand looking like a shanty town smileys/smiley17.gif



I asked first smileys/smiley17.gif

[Simo]

Ive just aordered a 5'x3' flag and 18ft flag pole.

The flag wont be spot on, as the place doing it dont have tme to do what I really want... but it will be better than sweet FA smileys/smiley17.gif

Its going to be a portrait flag and I will have to knock artwork up for it later this evening...


Also made arrangements for a full-colour PVC banner, but that takes ten days.

Might nip to my second printer fella to see if they can knock me up a el-quicko two colour banner?

I wanted everything to be full colour, but no time for that now...

Football corner flags wasa good idea I think, but been to 3 sports outlets and not managed to find anything? smileys/smiley5.gif

[barrett]

Sounds good, easy way for eveyone to find there way back.

also how easy is the flagpole to erect / does it have guide wires etc that
support it or do u have to dig a hole!!??

[Simo]

Flag pole is self supporting.. its sorted. Just a pity theres not enought ime to get a proper one done.

Ah well, just sorted some interesting merchandise deals out too for release some time aafter FCS.

Been a busy afternoon...

[jaybiss]

would of fort it woud be wire

smileys/smiley5.gif

[barrett]

sounds good simo'

i'm the business rep for the Medic Society next year and just to order
something as simple as say 40 t shirts seems to be a stupid amount of
effort, dam retailers.

Sounds like it will be a good day, hoping to be able to get down there for
a bit but just depends on how the work goes

[frenchcarshow]

Simo

I have a brand new 3m metal banner framework you can borrow from my club PGAC.

All you need is the banner to go in the middle.

I am not likely to be back onto this post as I leave soon so could you email me asap or call (If you want it for the day)
