CALENDER = bit of totty (or 12 bits of totty) with some numbers stuck underneath, then speak to a binding company.

POSTCARDS = Speak to Terry Slinger, he has done a load of em for OSC and has been playing with the format for ages.

what about Stanley Top Trumps?

you know the game

Mullin

Pace 2
Heading ability 6
shooting power 8
determination 10
value (in ackers) 1 million
games played nearly 1 million

would be fun as you would need 52 players to make a deck so would have to incorporate older players as well.

Could bring on a 'funner' version of Poker Night by having a top trumps night!!!

I can make a calander up easy peasy.... its the equipment to put it together i cant do.. 89 quid for a ring binder

just been in and seen lee... easy option is a load of a4 pics selling at a fiver each... no frames or owt...could buy and get em signed on the game etc..

the a4 pics is a good idea , we are planning top trumps for the back of the fanzine, have you thought about a personalised service? like have you pic took with the league cupa and/or a player £10 ?
just a thought

How about photos on mugs?
photos in keyfobs?

KIPAX · 08-12-2006, 19:12

I think we are missing the point peeps..

I am not short of ideas.. I am short of knowing how, eg the calanders I can make pages but not actual calander... photo on mug.. I wouldnt know how.

If you outsource then its 7-8 quid a mug and the club have to profit on that.. so its stuff I can do

K.S.H · 08-12-2006, 19:17

can you not talk the club into binding them, or get them to buy one.
£34 here on ebay

Would a comb binder work to make a calendar? They aren't very expensive but maybe it wouldn't be ideal because you'd still need a hanging up thingy.

When I ran a fan club we used to get mugs and alsorts like that done wholesale but I don't know if the firm still exists. It was yonks back.

Why don’t you join forces with Macca and the OSC and try to get free goodies donated for joint use, Things like a A3 photo printer, binder machine, mount cutter, ink, paper etc. You could approach PC World, Staples and the like for items that are shop soiled or ex stock. I would think a nice letter and a commitment to advertise the services of the donor in written literature might pay dividends.

I didn't realise there were 2 kinds, sorry, just ignore me

WillowTheWhisp · 08-12-2006, 19:29

I was saying great minds think alike K.S.H. - we both thought of the same thing.

KIPAX · 08-12-2006, 19:41

Ask the club, can be used for a good few year so in the long run they will end up with a free binder, speculate to accumulate
