  Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
I think we ought to work out how much this is going to cost us... Sign $20 - $200 Fabric for table tops and skirts $20 - $40 Photocopying fliers etc $10 - $20 Display panel for behind layout (??) $20-$25 I have a suggestion. Lions Gate Models (me (...)

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I'm not sure what you mean by this. What is the difference between a "Sign" and a "Display panel", or are you basically referring to having two "signs", one in front, one in back? (...) I would have no problem with this. However, even by your (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Dean and I will aquire the fabric as we have wanted to do so for a while. We've no problem paying for this and retaining the fabric as ours but using it for the club as well. This should bring the communal cost down a tad. Unless the club wants its (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I made a suggestion a while back that we have a freestanding display panel behind us (eg a 4x8 sheet of pegboard on a simple frame of 1x2's with plywood triangle "feet" to make it stand up). This would give us somehere to display signs, Lego (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) That sounds good to me. Kevin (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) A great idea, but I don't think we have room for it. My guess is that any space beyond our 16' x 6' is allocated for aisles and walkways, etc. Perhaps instead, we should allocate a corner of the layout for a small selection of lego train boxes (...)

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) Hand out Steve Barile's handout which shows the train specific lego parts. Only run a few off, put one in plastic and pin it to the skirting, then hand the rest out to the "serious" people who pass your initial screen ++Lar (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I'm tossing around the idea of doing something like this with the sign. Kinda cool to have a sign like that on the wall! (...) I think you should definitely email your list, and of course all the members. The worst that happens is that they (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I've dl'ed this (the powerpoint file) from Brickshelf. Larry, if you are reading this, would it be OK if we replaced the PNLTC logo with our own? Robin (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I should think you'll need to ask the PNLTC guys for this - Steve Barile probably if he wrote it. Kevin ---...--- Personal Lego Web page: (URL) Park: Limited edition kit (URL) Kits & Custom Lego models: (URL) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) Very likely. I was thinking it would take up an inch or two depth of our 6' but the feet would stick out further than that. Also, it's one more thing to make... (...) How about outher train specific sites like Matt Bates Train Depot (now at (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) Yes, after I posted this, I found an email addy for Steve. Although, upon reflection, it would be cool to just leave it as is, which lets people know that there are clubs like this all over the place. What do you think? The graphic (and .ppt (...)

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I don't think we should innundate people with too much at once. Lugnet is a portal to all the various fan oriented sites, and shop at home can answer the rest of the questions, so my opinion is to just include those two. Of course, we'd put (...)

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I think you're right - it looks fine how it is. There may also be Seattle people at this show who might be interested in the PNLTC itself.

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
Kevin, do you have a stash of them "Mail in for a free S@H catalog" fliers they put in some sets? (Like the blue Box) I've got 4 or 5 of them I'll bring... Also any "join the lego club for free" ones would help too. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I'd say forgo the "Train parts" bits flier. That's going to be too much to handle. Also, I don't want to run our costs up too much. The train bits are clearly detailed in the catalog..

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I don't think we should have any URL's other then our own and perhaps Lugnet. Net savvy people can go to all the magic from a link from our site or Lugnet. Keep it simple, some of these people will be remembering the link all the way home. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) No I don't... darn, I never thought of keeping those. I do have a large pile of in-box Lego catalogs which I plan to bring. Does anyone have an extra of the latest S@H catalog that we could chain to the display :-) Kevin ---...--- Personal (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I have a lot (probably 50-100) of the in box small catalogs that I haven't gotten around to pitching. I doubt I could get them to you in time for your show, though. I would suggest that people parting out large quantities of sets hang on to (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.org, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) I agree. I don't think we should have copies of this one to give out. However, one for train guys to look at during the show would be good, I suspect. Dean, will your laminator do a full 8 1/2" x 11" sheet? If not, we'll just bring a couple (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) Dean, are you referring to Kevin's sponsor info here? If he's sponsoring with a little extra cash than the rest of us, we should acknowledge that on the flyer. If you weren't talking about Kevin's stuff, were you referring to the other web (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
 
  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
 
(...) No, it won't. I do, however, have a catalog that shows the entire line of Lego' Track and bits... Would that be better? Maybe not... No, my laminator will only do up to recipe card size..

  Re: Money - budget for train show stuff - sponsorship
