2010-06-19 Sat - Smithfield Nocturne 2010

VB, you had pm, re:T-shoirt

I know, I don't have any of the shirts yet... need to sort out with wayne getting them delivered to Putney.

Is Roberto Heras entering?

There are some europeans riding:

Heras is possibly still in the huge strop when he was beaten at Blenheim though!

Hi, I have a contact for (supposedly) trade printing. They're good on standard litho printing and apparently they also make banners. The nearest they can make to 3 x 4m is 2180 x 4000 which costs a whopping £528 inc VAT & delivery. You could though, possibly get by with a banner that's narrower which would be cheaper. If you're interested, let me know and I'll look up the prices.

Ah, but he won the last time around:

£528 for a Lfgss banner is indeed "whopping" !!......if you an got an idea of how you want it to look I could probably help make it up for you with fairly presentable results for costs of materials....the proviso being that I have more than a few days notice

surely it's a 3m x 4m pitch (footprint) what you going to do, lay the banner on the floor?

A stall banner doesn't have to be this large, obviously--surely the idea is to do something with it like suspend it from the front of a trestle table?

i just looked up the price of a narrower banner: 840 x 4000 UV resistant print, vinyl with eyelets on an 8 working day service is £163

winston, will Rollapaluza be there?

Anyone have a Mr Ben Bobbin Bicycle hat I can borrow for the race?

Tried to get one on loan but Bobbin say noooooo....

And they're just shy of £200 quid, so ain't buying one

(goes off to fashion papier mache bowler hat thingy to put over Giro helmet)

this is a cross post, but if you wanna tune up for the Nocturne Rollaz, Rollapaluza will be in Covent Garden from 12-6pm this Thursday...right in the Piazza.

Do you need any volunteers to help on the stall?
