NEW PPRuNe BADGES are NOW on Sale
 

The super new badges are now on sale at £10 each. They are royal blue with gold or silver coming through. Very popular at the bash. Don't forget to state your preference when ordering.

Danny has produced these much asked for badges as another way of getting income into PPRuNe - to pay for the very high running costs that get ever higher as it gets more popular. In spite of that he has generously decided to give £1 from each sale to the Fund - good of him that!

So if you want one of these very nice badges just send a cheque for £10 with a self-addressed stamped envelope and I will get one to you.

The cheque should be made out to the PPRuNe Fund and sent to 5 Station Approach, Belmont, Surrey SM2 6BW.

Any chance of posting a picture of one beside a coin or something so we can see what they look like?

Do I remember someone saying "if you bought one of the old one's you would get a new one gratis!"

If so e-mail me and I will supply my snail mail address....

i,m with pengineer..
all this scary high tech stuff, the least i,d expect is a picture,with a form to click YES if one agreed...
is that not the way this stuff is supposed to help...
REALLY, a stamp addressed envelope..

Here you go. Its not a good picture, it was taken with my web-cam as my digi-cam is broken. Here is a gold badge next the the Esc key on my keyboard.

Well, the picture above is not the best, but at least its something. The badge is shiny gold and a nice blue background. Well worth a tenner.Get them cheque books out...... :)

E-commerce in its most basic form!

I would send a cheque but I am afraid that my cheques are rather like my landings!

Any chance of a finance deal? 36 months interest free credit, and pay nothing until July 2006?

IFR,
Very nice and very nice of you to handle this.

Now for all the thousands of us not in the UK, do you have an alternate for that stamped envelope procedure?

Agreed, my local post office just won't sell me any portraits of the Queen. Some trivia about it being a foreign country, picky picky. They will sell me a Sterling cheque though. Let's say we tack on a quid for postage.

Any chance of accepting 11 pound through the PPrune fund by bank transfer IFR? I meant to get one from you at the bash!

Guess I was too busy talking!!

Wot is them pound sterling things? Do you take Euros? Seriously though, as mentioned above, those of us living overseas can't send you a stamped addressed envelope. Can we not just send an addessed envelope and a cheque for GBP 10.50 to cover mailing costs?
Please advise.

think my outfit should make those the official company uniform wings check's on the way...

Avman

OK. Send me enough cash to cover it and I will send you one. ONLY to those overseas though. I don't want to start writing envelopes as well. The charge is the add-on of a small donation to the fund!

martinf

Same applies, sorry. Just send me a chq with your stamped addressed envelope - much better than going to the bank anyway.

Finally it's here, looks cool http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif too. Another cheque on the way. Well done IFR...
CRL ;)

No problem IFR - cheque is on it's way. Trying to be too fancy with the bank transfers. Probably will end up shooting myself in the foot!

Cheers IFR

You can't have everything........Where would you put it?

Is it just me or do they look well..........
Naff.
A bit like a PPL wing

Nah... it's just you dv8 :rolleyes: What a t@sser! No taste whatsoever.

I'm gonna have me one!

Any chance you'll take dollars (I would send cash, not a check)?

I have received, and sent, 10 requests for the badge today. i.e. cheque and stamped self addressed envelope. No problem at all.

However, converting USD into cash has been done, but the conversion rate is something no-one can guess, let alone get right, so the answer is no, sorry.

I am in much the same predicament as AVman

would 15 GBP cash be and an addressed envelope back to Oz be acceptable?

Bumfish. Yep, no problem. :)

sweet

it's in the mail

Must say thanks for the quick turnaround on getting the badge out - good job.

Question is, how do I make sure it's seen when I'm getting on the 'plane, short of pointing to my chest and grinning like a loon? Is there a secret handshake factsheet I should have got with the badge? ;-)

I'll have to money as soon as I get my USD exchanged, But I was wondering, a sticker for the side of the flight bag would look great too, any chance of getting any of those made?

Thanks,

Gulf227

FLY SAFE!!!

Damn! I just sold my flight bag! Wouldn't make any difference though. Danny is working on a number of ideas - maybe that is one of them - but don't hold your breath - yet! :)

Hey IFR, Received my badge today! Thanks very much indeed, It will be nice to see how many badges we can see at the airports soon?
Discreet and to the point! Cheers all,
Dark Skies

Remember' Freight is the Hunter'

Thanks for the badge - very discrete and tasteful. Shall be wearing it on UK2294 tomorrow on my way to see my lady love!!

Well, since GBP15 seems to be the going rate for overseas (well Europe in my case), cheque will be in the post Monsday latest. Any difference to the Fund. BTW, I do like the sticker idea.

IFR:

Wise one? Definitely! That's why I don't want anymore transfers to the bank. It's a pain.

Sorry no. I've turned down others already.

Put it on the uniform above company wing ón monday and already 5 colleagues and 3 pax have asked me most enthusiastically: "so you're a ppruner as weel huh, what's your username then?"
Bit tricky that one ;)
Have considered impersonating Slasher but it would look a bit odd for a woman. :)

Great fun these badges people, so don't hesitate and get your money in the mail!

One thing though, be very careful when putting on your jacket, the little bit on the back of the badge does not tolerate rough handling! http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif

I had breakfast with Freddie Laker at sparrowsf@rt this morning in FLL prior to the inauguaral service FLL-NAS ... he wanted to know what PPRuNe was after seeing my badge!

Damn it Guvnor, you've totally confused me now. I've been convinced for months that you WERE Freddy Laker...!

- P.

Cheque sent Wednesday, badge arrived Friday - what service!

Thanks IFR for all the hard work.

How about PPRuNe baseball caps?

Badge, Sticker, Baseball-cap ok, but please no PPrune on underwear, I've got enough on it already!

Hmmm Stickers, flight bags, baseball hats, flight jackets? Why hasnt anyone come up with the bright idea of leasing an old 732 and 'sticking' pprune on the side????????

Now THAT would attract attention! Think of the hits the site would get then!!!
