BCUK Meetup - Archive

[Ed]

Yeah.... good idea about the name badges ....please don't get offended if I call you by your BCUK user names..... It gets complicated when I have to remember 2 names for everyone :-( its bad enough with plants having latin names and loads of common names without people doing it aswell.....


Ed

 

[jakunen]

So long as you get ONE of them right...
And is that plant a geranium or a pelargonium?

Ed

Nah you got my name right by the end of the weekend.... Stuart on the other hand was introducing me to the public as Lithril

Womble I hear this distrust with spending money online is an age thing... you never know in about 40 years time I might feel the same ):

 

[bushwacker bob]

How about you get 3 questions to ask and then have to take a guess at each others username :rolmao: :rolmao:
Kath and Adi would be easy, but Raz, under all that lichen and stuff.....

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

badges good idea!

just call me Rapp! :super: i might go for the tent badge too! :biggthump

if you find my son or daughter prehaps i should give them a badge.......

"son of Rapp!" or "daughter of Rapp!" makes me sound like some pagan warrior/god! :rolmao: :rolmao: ): :roll:

 

[Womble]

Or some cheap monster flick from the '60s...

 

[jakunen]

If people are interested I could mke up some laminated badges (credit card sized), you'd just have to punch a hole for string or whatever. Would make any sort of meet easier...
All I'd ask would be 40p for making badge and postage...

 

[Womble]

wouldn't it be easier to distribute them on the day - thus reducing the postage cost?

 

[jakunen]

Yes, so long as people could find me to get them...
Only a few people would know me by sight...

 

[Tony]

I think that your main problem would be getting a list of all that are going. I was thinking of getting some plain stickers for people to write names on and then stick them on arms etc......

 

[Ed]

That sounds like a better idea tony .... Just have them at the classroom and people can get/write their sticker when they arrive.

Ed

 

[jamesdevine]

I unfortunately am not going but can I be bold enough to suggest they write there user name on the badge/sticker as well. Not every uses their own name.

James

 

[jakunen]

Think Tone already asked that...

After having seen how many have responded to the poll, I can see what you mean and then there are people who will have thier significant others with them as well.

That sounds like a better idea tony .... Just have them at the classroom and people can get/write their sticker when they arrive.

would probably be the easiest and better bet :biggthump
