Shock Horror - Pprune badge shortage!(NOT ANY MORE!!!)

[Ripline]

Having owned one of these classy objects a couple of years ago I've now managed to lose it. It wasn't until I went to the London Air Show and realised that it was going to be hard for other Ppruners to identify newcomers (me) and that I needed a replacement.
AerBabe kindly volunteered to obtain one from the Pprune Badgemeister but was subsequently told that stocks were exhausted and that another order would be considered if there was a demand.

demand = 1

Anybody else want to add to this and gain both personal status and also make a worthwhile contribution to a noble cause? I can't recollect off-hand what the last noble cause was, but I expect that Danny could think of one! :p

If more than a few reply to this, could BRL please consider making it a sticky for a bit, or even moving this to a more widely read Pprune Forum?

Ta ever so.....

I don't think that the sky *is* the limit, you know. It's more likely to be the ground.

[BRL]

Funny timing this, over the last few weeks I have had a few requests for badges, caps, t-shirts etc.

I will bring this to the attention of Don who sorts these things out. :)

[AerBabe]

Don has been somewhat tied up in Chas's funeral arrangements, so probably best to give him a few days while we wait for interest to gather.

[DX Wombat]

I'm the one who bought his last three badges to send to Oz. I needed four but there were only three left so I would happily have another one to send out there.

[Fly Stimulator]

I've got one! :ok:

Is it worth putting it on eBay I wonder? :E

[Algirdas]

I'd like one! DEMaNd = 2 !!!:E

[NinjaBill]

3.00000000000000000 (extra letters added to overcome 15 character limit)

[AerBabe]

You're forgetting Ms Wombat; Demand = 4.
Reckon I could shift a few at the LowNSlow fly-in too. :E

[J.A.F.O.]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive

[FJJP]

Sounds like an attractive addition to the old badge collection! Me Me Me Me Me! I'll have one... [Makes 6]

[Whirlygig]

Yup, demand now 6

Cheers

Whirlygig

[VP8]

Ditto 2 please 1 as tac spare!!

VEEPS

[InFinRetirement]

Tis true. AerBabe did contact me and I told her that the stock of badges was now nil. However, I can now concentrate on such matters again.

I have a stock of Caps, V-Neck Sweat Shirts and round neck Sweat Shirts all with embroidered PPRuNe logo in two colours grey and green - I also plan to order some polo neck shirts with embroidered logo. I have T-Shirts too in the style of the logo at the top of this page. I will very shortly take some digital images of these and I will post them on THIS thread and I will let you know prices too.

As for badges I will investigate a stock of these and will see what I can do. I think the design of them was great but unfortunately the pin holder had a habit of parting from the badge and the badge was lost as a result. I will see if there is another type available with a good deal better clasp. Obviously I will want to know that there is a real demand for these because I will have to order in quantity.

ALL the proceeds will be shared between the PPRuNe Fund and to the running of PPRuNe itself.

BRL can Sticky this and we can treat it as first stop till I find another forum I can place this on also.

Watch this space!

IFR

[S-Works]

Oh go on then I will have a couple!

[FJJP]

Yeah, make my order 2 as well - might as well have a spare...

[Evo]

Maybe I should put my spare on eBay... :E

[sunday driver]

me 2, too


sd.

[digidave]

Yes please, 2 for me.
dd

[J.A.F.O.]

I thought that the dodgy clasp on the original badge was a marketing ploy meaning that everyone would have lost their badge within two years thereby generating repeat business.

So, I'll have one and a spare, just in case.

[DeepC]

Two for me please.

DeepC

[TonyR]

2 Please and a cap and T shirt

[ratsarrse]

What do the badges look like? Anyone got a picture?

Put me down as a maybe...

[Rugz]

Put me down for one too!!

[InFinRetirement]

Please look at the thread above regarding the Cap, S/Shirts and T-Shirts.

Comments here until I get delivery and costs sorted.

I have a stock but it is by no means huge. Altogether I have 38 various shirts and about 18 or so Caps.

Keep watching! ;)

IFR

[noisy]

I'll take two badges and a cap please. I think I can be PM'ed now.

edit: indeed I can

[timmcat]

Maybe I should put my spare on eBay...

Someone's tried it already. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4162064854&category=4783)!

, but may have one or two small stains on it.
A story there then...;)

99p? A bargain

[AerBabe]

Hmm... seller... 'Whirlyone'.
Come on then Whirlybird, tell us about the stains. :uhoh:

[Windle Poons]

You can count me in for two as well.

WP

[FireFoxDown]

My birthday recently so i think ill treat myself to a pin and a cap! These should give me some of that well-deserved street cred that i have been lacking at the local airfield! :E

[YYZ]

Im up for a couple when ready?:ok:

[fernytickles]

2 4 me too please :)

[Pink_aviator]

Sice every one wants 2 and I am Little Miss Greedy ,

I WANT 4. tee hee .

I DO .

THE PINKSTER

[WestWind1950]

count me in for at LEAST one... :cool:

Westy

[BRL]

Now I need a favour from one of you. If anyone has a badge already, could you please point your digi-cam at it and post the picture on here so people can see what they look like. Some people do not have a clue as they have not seen them so it would be appreciated if you could post a picture of a badge. If not possible to upload then send me the picture and I will put it up for you. Many thanks. :)

[BEagle]

BRL - If you send me your actual e-mail address, I can send you a piccie of a PPRuNe badge. Clicking on your e-mail field merely opens up some web-based thing which won't accept attachments.

Might order another one as spare if you order another batch.

[Out Of Trim]

1 badge for me too - Please!

[BRL]

Here is one. Thanks to BEagle for the pic.
http://www.btinternet.com/~paul.evans28/Badge.jpg

[BEagle]

And no - I didn't pin it to the bum of a passing tyranosaurus! Just looks that way as it's on the collar of my G-2 flying jacket (from Pop's Leather of the Incirlik AB village strip - with a bit of haggling!).

[1946]

Please add me to the list for at least one. Any chance of a car sticker , same as the badge being made , or they already available.

[YYZ]

I think the car sticker is a good idea, also out of interest how much are the badges??

[ratsarrse]

Ooh, now I've seen the picture of the badge, I want one!

[BRL]

I think car stickers would be a good idea but I don't think anyone has looked into the cost to be honest. I did produce one last year but that was made on reversable clear window 'paper' that you can buy for your printer but after a few months the ink started to run a bit. I will ask Danny about looking into pricing them up.

[AerBabe]

I found the shop which we used for the last set of t-shirts/caps/jumpers. I'll ask them for a quote on car stickers tomorrow & pass it on to Danny. :ok:

[BRL]

Cheers AB.. :ok:

[Flyin'Dutch']

Yup I will have one too.

Looks quite classy (well on BEagle's jacket at least!)

:D

FD

[GCA104]

one for me too !

[Capt BK]

You can put me down for a snazzy badge too! And a car sticker if they get produced:D

CBK

[AerBabe]

I have a reply on car stickers: their usual supplier is geared towards the motor trade, so minimum order would be 500. They're getting back to me about smaller quantities. :ok:

[FJJP]

BRL

I would be worth your while talking to Terry Rumble at Terrane [he's a flier in the mob] running his big company on the side. He does a huge range of badges and stickers [inc artwork] and will probably give you a favourable quote, especially since it is for PPrune. Also, see your PM for introduction info.

Thanks for the info FJJP. I will make sure Danny/Rob/Don/AB see this.
Cheers. :) :ok:

[InFinRetirement]

This poor 'ol soul has a lot to do and I am on to the badge supplies as we speak, and now we have a new possible supplier who might be able to give us a special price - but I will need to see what is on offer. It all takes a while but I AM dealing with it.

But............I have to say I am not going to deal with car stickers, sorry.

I am commited to badges, Caps T/Shirts, Sweaters, prints etc., and it takes a while to pack and send things out, get the money in, bank it and so on, so I am not prepared to take something like stickers on too. Like everything else they have to be paid for and then sent out. Sorry again.

The 'store' will be open for business shortly for caps and all above.

[1946]

Sorry if my surgestion of car stickers has caused any body any bother. I may dare to add that if stickers are required, and there seems to be a good market for them, that they ONLY be supplied when purchasing other items from the PPrune shop/supplier. Yes I know that it smacks of restrictions , but it may just get us the stickers and ease the burdon on the sender.:O

[BEagle]

For those of you wondering about the size of the badges, the one shown in the piccy has a wingspan of 3 cm.

[phnuff]

To what ever the current demand equals, add 2

[spook]

Two for me too...please!

[BRL]

Check back to page 3 for pictures of some of the kit.

I have just received a t-shirt and cap and both are excellent quality, the cap is superb. I do have pictures of myself wearing them but they are strictly for the admin forum as I am a bit shy of having them on here. :D :D

[Phoenix09]

I'd like two as well please... :)

[cleo]

Add another 2 to that please :)

[Gertrude the Wombat]

You're forgetting Ms Wombat; Demand = 4 Assuming AerBabe remembered me moaning about them on an earlier thread some time back, then that's right, one for me please.

[Lost_luggage34]

Hmmm - having seen a piccy I think they look rather stylish.

So 1 for me please !

[yintsinmerite]

Any more news on these ? (check book at the ready)!

[The Swinging Monkey]

Gentlemen,

I've not seen the badge(s) in question, but just wanted to concur what FJJP said about Terry Rumble.

He will undoubtebly do you a good deal, and I can vouch for the quality of all the stuff from Terrane.

Kind regards

The swinging Monkey
ps I do NOT work for Terry, but I was his Boss once!

Caruthers, time for my Friday afternoon Grouse I think!!

[Ronbmy]

One cap and one t-shirt please.

[YYZ]

Any ideas when the badges will be available yet?

YYZ:8

[BRL]

Give us about three weeks and InFin will give out the details exactly what and how you can get things. Watch this space..... :)

[YYZ]

I wait with baited breath:}

[Pistol Pete]

Chalk me up for one too please.

[TheStormyPetrel]

This is wonderful. I want some too, please.

[Blind lemon]

Can you add another 2 to the list please

:ok:

[BRL]

Here are the t-shirt and a cap..................
http://www.btinternet.com/~paul.evans28/tshirt2.jpg

[TheStormyPetrel]

Very nice BRL (the shirt and cap look good, too) :)

I can't wait!!

And the badge????

[BRL]

YWIMC........... :)
http://www.btinternet.com/~paul.evans28/Badge.jpg

[noisy]

OooooooOOOOOOoooooooohhhhhhhhh!!

Gimme Gimme Gimmme

How do I order?

[TheStormyPetrel]

The badge is great. Do tell us it's not just a tease - that we can order one.

Oh have faith - does that face (BRL's) look like one that would tease? Oh dear, see that twinkle!!!

[Andy_R]

Come on BRL, how do we get our hands on the goodies???

[down&out]

Me too! Put me down for a badge and car sticker, if they're made

D&O.

[Av18tor]

Two for me too please and did someone mention car stickers aswell?? I'll have a couple of them too, well better make that four! (ok so I'm greedy!):E

[taglo]

...and I'm another person to join the growing multitude to shout...

"Two badges and two car stickers please."

[BRL]

No car stickers guys, sorry, can't order say 1000 and only sell 50, waste of money. Only t-shirts, caps and badges available, wait for an announcement here soon. :)

[AIRWAY]

One each for me, but it looks like we have to wait...

:O

[Ronbmy]

Cap & t-shirt arrived yesterday to keep previously obtained badge company. Excellent!

What next?

Car sticker? Nah!!!

PPruNe Go-Faster stripe for the motor! Yes!!

In keeping with the current trend - around here anyway - of 'flying the flag' on the motor might even ask the better half to stitch up a PPruNe flag.

[BRL]

Unstuck for a while, not sure what is happening with the progress of the stuff but it shouldn't be too long now. :)

[Mr Chips]

Mr Chips may have to order one of those very lovely looking badges...... to go with his ORIGINAL one :ok:

Who mentioned EBAY!!!!!!

[TheStormyPetrel]

Hi BRL. I'm not really being impatient, just wondering how things are going (also hate this thread slipping so far).

Any news yet? :)

I love the idea of car stickers too

[BRL]

Hey Sp, don't flap, as soon as I get some info about these then I will post it or IFR will post something. Remember that saying, 'all good things come to those who wait....' :)

As for car stickers, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooooooooooooooooooo...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[YYZ]

After SPs beating I don't know if I dare ask:(

Any news on the badges yet:ouch:

[TheStormyPetrel]

Well done YYZ. I was dying to ask, but naturally, after last time when BRL made things clear - I didn't dare. :ok:

Stormy

[murphy1901]

Wonder if there's any news on the car stickers... :E

[BRL]

Right, you guys are in my little red book now. :E

Have patience my friends, the wise man once said "if you walk accross sand, you will still be hungry........."

[TheStormyPetrel]

That was quick BRL!!

Thank you though, I feel that I got off quite lightly this time - although perhaps I need to know more about the little red book......?? ;)

Do I/we get any brownie points for being so patient for so long?

[oscarmike]

Right, you guys are in my little red book now.

BRL - if the little Red Book contains a list of bods waiting for badges could you add me to it please?

Many thanks

OM

:p

[InFinRetirement]

I will get them sorted but it takes time. I due at the manu's next week to discuss it. You will have to be a little more patient I'm afraid.

IFR

[TheStormyPetrel]

Thank you for what you are doing - and the feedback. Really we are being patient and do appreciate your efforts. :)

[Echo Zulu Yankee]

Ooooh!

Badge for me please!

I just love things that make those metal detectors go *bleep*!

EzY

[BeauMan]

May I also put myself down for a badge too please? Ta...

(although quite what the folks on FlyPast will think when they see I'm also a Prooner... divided loyalties an' all that... ;) )

[High Wing Drifter]

Me too!

Demand = 96 :D

[SkySista]

Oooh, badges sound good.... i dare ask how much? ;)

Also wondering how much postage would be..... pity you guys can't set up an eBay shop, to keep track of orders & stuff...

Badges look awesome.... how about bag tags? (or are they in same category as bumper stickers...? :E

Sky

[Fordhom]

At the risk of sounding like an echo...

Can I be added to the list for proone badges please.

Many thanks!

[BRL]

I think there are some things available right now. All you have to do is get in touch with IFR and e-mail or PM him to see what he has.

For those of you in OZ, it might be easier sending the goods to one person who can then forward them on to the rest of you down there. I don't know if that would be viable, would have to see what Don thinks about that.

[Ripline]

Well, on balance I'm glad I started this thread!

BRL do you think that IFR has an accurate "order book" or should we PM him with our requirements? Perhaps a quick statement from him regarding prices and postage would help us follow through?

Nice symetry to all this as I think this is the 100th post on this thread!

Thanks for listening,

Soft Landings!

Ripline

[Algirdas]

IFR, any progress on the badges???????
A

[InFinRetirement]

I am sorry this has been so long but I have actually ordered the badges and I should have them in my hands in three weeks. They are a bit larger than the previous type and measure 30mm x 10mm. There are two types of fittings, one is the usual pin, which is thicker and thus more secure, and butterfly and the other is a brooch clasp which the ladies will like I expect! ;)

They will be the same price as before: £10 which goes to the PPRuNe Fund.

Here is a very temporary pic until I can take a picture of the real thing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/captainavi8tor/NEWBADGE.jpg


I have done the flight bag stickers after being pestered a few times. Actually they are quite good and will stick almost anywhere. Maybe we will see that at the Gat Bash - we can only hope!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/captainavi8tor/PPRuNeSticker.jpg

No price just yet. Should be to-morrow or day after.

So if you would like to order one or both here is what you do:

Send me a cheque for the required amount together with a stamped self addressed envelope which MUST include a small amount of bubble wrap - 4 or 5 inch square will do it. The cheque should be made out to the Pprune Fund and sent to 5 Station Approach, Belmont, Surrey SM2 6BW

If you want to send me USD I can accept those but NOT Euros. The exchange on the former is fine, on the latter it is pathetic!

If I can, I will turn round the order the day I receive it.

IFR

[BEagle]

30m x 10m? Those'll be pretty impressive badges with a wingspan of 98' 5"........

Why not the same as the original design? I think that looked rather smarter and was the design that folks said they wanted to order - but I guess it'll make my earlier badge more desirable/collectable?

So it's been superglued to my jacket lapel now!

[PPRuNe Pop]

I'll just answer your pertinent question first BEags. (Then I'll adjust my deliberate mistake!)

Whatever I did someone would say that they like the last one best. It was thought it was a bit small and was lost too easily, so that is reason for a change. The new one is much smarter in my view and you won't need glasses to see what it says! :ok:

[BEagle]

'It was thought'......

Hmmm. But those people who said they wanted one had seen the picture of the previous design. Do they still want one of the new ones?

Not me, thanks. I prefer small and discrete. Original and best!

[PPRuNe Pop]

Well actually BEags.................it is still 30mm wide, just a tad 'taller.' Mind yer don't leave yer wellies in the mud!! ;)

[BEagle]

I was referring to the lettering....

[yintsinmerite]

So where do I send my money to? I want one

[PPRuNe Pop]

Ummmmm! Just read the post with the pics in it. Just a few up from here. :rolleyes:

[yintsinmerite]

Ummmmm! Just read the post with the pics in it. Just a few up from here

Oh THAT post (whi ch does not appear to have pictures) :\ :O

Okidoki

[PPRuNe Pop]

Eight posts back. All the details are there.


If you are not seeing pictures you have a problem with your pooter. But I will be placing other stuff on a new thread shortly so watch out for it,

[TheStormyPetrel]

Oh dear. I do want to order one, but "send a cheque" - now presumably that means a UK type cheque, not an Aussie cheque, and that presents a problem. Are there other options?

[YYZ]

Im ready to order the badge but am waiting on a price for the flight bag stickers? Any cost yet....

YYZ:}

[PPRuNe Pop]

YYZ,

For the moment I will not do the stickers - they have turned out to be too expensive. I can always go with it later if there is a true demand.

I have some orders for the badges and I am expecting news anytime as to when I can collect them. I am quite looking forward to seeing them.


Stormy Petrel,

Can you arrange USD? I can take those because the fund doesn't get hammered in the exchange. Even Euros are ridiculous in exchange. The dollar ratio at the moment is $17.80 plus postage which is 65p to Oz.

[BRL]

We need a volunteer from Australia to sort something out, any takers?

[InFinRetirement]

All taken care of now BRL.

Badges will arrive this week. For those who have already sent me their cheques. The minute I get them they will be 'winging' their way.

This thread is on it's way out but I intend putting up another with a list of what is available this week.

AND the stickers are now ordered thanks to one of our PPRuNers arranging them at a price I could not get. Very good of him.

IFR
