I thought the event was Sunday 27th July not Saturday?


Anyhow as regards the issue of Shirts/Tee Shirts, we\'re individuals. Matching Tee shirts, just make people look a little \"sadder\" or in some cases, like me, more rotund. :rolleyes:

Ben why not cost up decent Lapel/Pin badges of the LOGO and try to sell them on the day. There\'s a very good company close to where I work, I can make enquiries for you, if you wish.

Get Pissed

@talonicus - you\'d better not be too hungover, if you were any grumpier, you\'d scare everyone off!

Grumble grumble.

I am not miserable, I am just enjoying moaning at an earlier age.

Just imagine how much I will moan when i\'m 60!!

Anyway its all an act, I actually have a heart of gold under the gnarly exterior.

Nigel...Northern!? Next you will be telling me Brummies are Northeners :drunk:

Try coming up to the real north, where our piss is packed full of starch, the Bigg Market is the local boxing ring and we all work 22hr shifts down the pits.

Thats Northern.

Ok, I\'m having one of those weeks, yes, I meant the Saturday night before the event, or the Sunday night of the event... glad someone\'s paying attention! :)


I\'ll have a look at a few options for t-shirts. badges etc and post back here with some options and prices...


Just as an aside, if possible, I\'d rather folks didn\'t go and make their own t-shirts using the PB logo if that\'s ok. It\'s not a commercial entity, but it\'s still privately owned IP (and being in design it\'s one thing I\'m a bit anal about :)

Plus, although this is a non-profit organisation, the few of us who\'ve been setting it up have spent out a reasonable bit of money so far getting it off the ground, and although that was our choice, the chance to sell a few t-shirts etc to folks is really the only way we may be able to make back a few quid to cover those costs.

Hope everyone\'s happy with that, don\'t want to dampen anyone\'s enthusiasm... but would prefer if folks didn\'t go off and unoficially \'do their own thing\' :)

That said, if you wanna make up t-shirts for your local painting group, by all means go ahead!!! :)


Cheers all

Well, the logo is based on the union flag so I guess that may be too \'nationalistic\' already :)

We scrubbed the idea of a bulldog in a matador outfit standing triumphantly over the dead body of a bull, skewered with paint brushes... I thought a logo based on the national flag was a reasonable compromise ;-)

Go for black! Black is the bestest. Black is chic. It\'s cool. It\'s classy. Of course there\'ll need to be a logo or some such, but go for some kind of Mod/RAF symbol. How cool would you all look then?

Hi folks...



just a quick heads up to those who have expressed an interest in the event on 27th July...

It seems to be proving more popular than we had originally anticipated :) This is a good thing, but we are having to start looking at what the capacity of the venue is, certainly from the perspective of space for people to display their minis.


With this in mind, please can anyone who intends to attend and wants to display their work please e-mail us at the Platoon Britannica address:

events@platoonbritannica.org.uk

and let us know asap. At present we are aiming for 1/3rd to 1/4 table per person, which is about a 3ft by 2ft area per person at least (pretty big!) If however you are a team of six or seven coming together we may be able to give you two whole tables to yourselves or similar.

The display space will have to be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so if you want to display minis, PLEASE e-mail us!!!

If you don\'t get a reply in a few days, pm me on CMON and I\'ll get back to you.

Likewise, if you want to give a painting demo or a sculpting demo... please let us know now so we can guage numbers.

Everyone who\'se already e-mailed us expressing an interest, we\'ll e-mail this request to you also.


All the best

A few years ago the French \"Team\" had Le Coc Sportif\" with a paintbrush appearing out it\'s backside
................I suggested a Robin Hood figure on a British Racing Green Shirt to stand beside them.
The French loved the Idea......Entante Cordiallol

Hmmm I was actually thinking of taking my Praetorians along. They\'re suitably Britannic I reckon.

Just wanna bump this back up as we\'ve only had responses back from about 10% of the folks who have expressed an interest so far, and we do need to get numbers tied down in the next week or so. Don\'t want people to e-mail us the week before the event and say \"Ooooh, I\'m coming and want to display my minis!\" as the hall lay-out will already have been decided by then and we won\'t be able to help them :-(


Cheers all!!
