Available at the bargain price of $15 ea, unframed.

Postal orders will be shipped rolled in post-pak cylinders at an
additional cost of:
  $7 for 1 to 3 posters

Thanks Ken and Kathy, although I can't take the credit - our resident graphic design guru came through for us once again.

Les Hewitt (Hewart) put in a lot of time on this.  I lost track of how many times we (meaning I) fiddled with it: "now if we can just make this a little bigger and move that over there...".  And every morning, there'd be a fresh copy in my Inbox: "How's this grab you?"

So on behalf of the NSW Club I'd like to say a very big thank you to Les, and also to John Rap who did the running around to collect the artwork from Les, then get it printed and framed in time for Grey Pride.  Thanks also to Margaret Saul and Mal Owen for making sure the plaque made it there as well.

The NSW Club presented a framed and engraved copy of this to Tony (as the Victorian representative) at Grey Pride the other day.  If someone got a photo of the presentation maybe they could post it here (or email it to me and I will).

cheers

No worries at all, happy to help out if I can... good fun ;)

Couldn't have done it without all of Richard's guidance and suggestions.... the original version looked a lot different to the final print and had a lot less photos in it!! We've tried to cover most aspects of what was a fantastic weekend!!! Getting the Top 15 cars included was a bonus (and a great idea RET) I reckon...

Thanks also must go to the many photographers who donated thier pics... Alex, Stinky, Richard, Craig, Cat and Alice...

Cheers
Les... :)

Did I say WOW?  What I really meant was that this is one of the MOST MAGNIFICENT POSTERS I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!

And no I wont stop SHOUTING ;D

The more I look at it I am knocked out by the incredible detail and effort that has gone into it.  The price is a bargain and I will definately be getting one through the Vic club.

This Print is just as spectacular as the previous one !! I can see these becoming a collector sequence representing the highlights of each Nats. How fortunate we are to have the input of such clever people! These prints will have "pride of place" in my Holden Room. What a great piece of memorabilia. Cheers Old-Blu.
