We've got a little experiment going on with the green tee shirts at the moment, we think that they may be scaring people away, you know, here comes another bucket shaker, anyway we are going to have a go at ordinary people tee shirts to see if we're more approachable, we still have the buckets and ultimately it's all about getting as much as we can for the boat which goes to Macmillian anyway, we have to wait and see

It might just be the one Whisper's been wearing solidly for the last 3 days & nights that's scaring people away

Thanks for the vote, I don't think we are any different from anyone else, speaking for Alex and myself, I think circumstances have made us more focused

Great! All the lettering is holding up well. The sign is working great! Everyone reads it, we hide and watch peoples eyes, they just can't help but read it.

The temporary vinyl was a great idea and will be removed at 5:01pm next Sunday while the drawbar is reassembled....

Hence why I started a thread to meet up at the stand

I may be able to get a few tickets for next Sunday for the RIB 4 Macmillan build team

This is Tony, he's one of the guys that sponsored our RIB 4 Macmillan stand!

As you can see, he's the dude on the Technohull stand. I'll get some more pics of the Lomac's tomorrow this is the 7.2 Technohull

The guy on the loud speaker just announced that someone has left a bra in the RIB 4 Macmillan and everyone should see if they can find it!!!

Lol, getting lots of support after the PSP director visited our stand yesterday. Nice guy too!!! We didn't know who he was, we just talked him through the project.
