Talking Tools - Rycotewood in Feb

[wizer]

it's gone all Catherine Tate in here...

I'd suggest that you don't use the UKW name. In the event of any new members as a reuslt of the stand, the first thread they read will probably be this one given the name of it. All they'll see is a group of kids who feel that it's appropriate to indulge in name calling.


Oh well, I guess this thread will only deteriorate until it gets locked.

OK chaps...executive decision taken, not that I take many of them in my house. I'll pen something to Ian asap to include wording mentioning UKWorkshop. I'll have a trawl back through the thread for some ideas.
Should be entertaining :lol: - Rob

Rob - entering this rather late but as someone who has volunteered to attend I cannot see what is wrong with using something like "UKW Forum Members" - because after all that's what we are!
As some members seem to be concerned (for what ever reason?), I would suggest not using the words "Workshop.co.uk"

Rod I don't think any of is were concerned in this thread, only going on what we was previously told by a Moderator.

Well done Rob. Can't wait, it look fantastic.

If you need a hand with Artwork, I think I still have the original files that Charley gave me for the bashes. If not I can easily re-create it if you want some stuff printed. LMK

Thanks Rob.

I was thinking about doing an A4 sized UKWorkshop thingie and then laminating it at work, then slotting it into a wooden holder so it could be stood up on the bench at the event.
Any other ideas...something on the wall behind, display board maybe :duno: - Rob

 

[wizer]

Anything is possible. But we don't have any funds avaiable, so we can't get anything proffesionally printed, which is a shame.

If you or anyone else has a color printer (I don't), then I can supply an A4 sized mini-poster? and as you say, it can be laminated. Maybe a couple.

If you want to get people signing up, then you might want to print up some strips of paper that you can give out the web address.

 

[Aled Dafis]

I'm quite willing to print out some mini posters on A4 or even a couple in A3. I can also laminate them.

Cheers

Well done Rob, looks like it is all coming together nicely.

I have a large colour photocopier/printer at work, if you need any copies just let me know.

I would favour an A4 size handout with the web details on, perhaps showing a collage of some pictures from past events, bashes, competition winners etc.

A little bit about the friendly and helpful resource the forum represents. I am sure there are enough computer wizz kids amongst members to come up with something.

There is no need to go to mad and create a lot of work, but at the same time it would be good to look the part.

Just a thought.

Tony.

 

[wizer]

I like the idea Tony, but I think A4 is too big. Leaflet size would be better.

As I say, I'm happy to do this, but if someone more qualified would like to volunteer, that's dandy with me.

I am hoping to bring a large poster if there is a display board or suitable wall.

Excellent...I'm sure there will be somewhere to display a poster - Rob

A large poster of what?

 

[StarGazer]

Tom,

The project that got me back into wooodworking is the construction of possibly the largest reproduction 10thC anglo-saxon meadhalls in Europe. I am trying to put a photo display of the timber frame construction and woodworking aspects and particularly some of the carving.
