Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
I hadn't planned anything definite yet, but I'm usually up at around 0730, so the first sitting of bacon will start griling then.

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
Ok, Not quite as early as I thought then!!! I may pop in for breakfast (don't normally eat it) as I think I more or less have to go pass you to get to Weymouth!!! That way I can help with ferrying things there.

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
That would be great. You will go within half-a-mile of my door on your way to Weymouth, so do pop in, have some breakfast, meet the folks who are staying, and collect stuff or people. Originally Posted by The_Phantom_Bear_Dresser

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
A rubber duck, that could be the mascot for the weekend!!!! You could put a charity pot thing on the table and if people want to touch the duck they have to put some coppers in the pot!!!

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
Better still he lights up and the lights change colour......
However, I'm not sure how I'd feel approaching a veteran and saying 'do you want to touch my duck?'!!!!!!And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
Not sure about the duck, but I think we could arrange some way of asking for a small donation to 'Have your photo taken with a bear'. We'd need to make sure people couldn't leg it with a bear, but I'm sure it could be arranged, with a suitable backdrop of a giant laminated 'bear recognition guide'.

Could be cool, or you could have a giant map with markers showing where all the various bears have been.

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
Darn. I've ordered the guides, and I'm not sure how we'd get the map off the site and onto paper.
I think it's a goer for 'have your picture taken with a bear for 50p' though!

Re: Hols for Heroes at Weymouth Veterans' Weekend 12/13 June
Until I know how many are going to be orderd I don't know how much they are going to cost!! I do have a rough price list but stupidly I have not got it on me today (I'm using a different handbag), so will post the costs when I get home tonight. I'm trying to get the cost as low as possible so the more ordered the cheaper it will be for everyone. Also I'm hoping that Gerald the printer will do them with an extra discount as well, but again until I know how many to order................................
