This is totally Aussome! ;-)
I look forward to meeting you, Ross, and the growing international contingent
this year!
As far as containers go, this swap thing is turning into a logistical nightmare.
Club who have already swapped will always be short stickers from newer LTCs, and
newer LTCs will be shorted stickers from previous swaps.
I am thinking that it might be a good idea to post high rez images of all LTC’s
stickers on the ILTCO website for download. Although this would defeat the
quaintness of actually receiving a container built by another club, it would
make the entire process a lot smoother and eliminate a bunch of hassles-- costs
of shipping containers, transporting 2 dozen containers for trading, to name a
few.
What was done in the past was fine, but I am thinking about the future and how
this idea can be perpetuated and implemented by LTCs whose members can’t attend
Fests, or for various reasons can’t build and ship 2 dozen or so containers.
Perhaps I am all wet. Does anyone else have any thoughts on the idea?
