Adam

tonights meeting is cancelled.. next meeting will be monday 20th february..

i will ask our flanders tour riders to attend and i'll bring samples of the infamous bespoke choc bar
'almac-vlaams-bloc-of-choc' our politically motivated hammerblow against the neo-nazi bokkies..

we need to get those sew-on london clarion badges moving as well
btw who has received a clarion jersey from Charles?

Bugger, I could've made that. 20th it is! at Leon or somewhere else?
I've had my jersey. I'm 6ft 2 and 39" chest, but will go XL next time to try to win some extra length - they do come up quite short.

sorry wen jian.. just as well, the roads are looking pretty grim tonight.. i have ordered a XL i think.. i'm sure Charles would change yours though.

It reminds me a little of the polo London Open designs that bdw has been creating. These are great--using popular figures from London's history:

Father Thames

Boadicea

Wasn't it going to be a second banner below the "Socialialism the Hope Of the World" one, with something like "London Column" on it? Not sure column is the word I'm looking for but I can't remember the right one, and I've been reading too much about the Cuban revolution recently...

Love those! I've been of the opinion for some time that there wasn't enough Hi-Viz orange in leftist agit-prop imagery.

Also, can anyone think of any specific legislation that would prohibit rear reflector/lights from being star-shaped? I know triangles are for trailers.

boadicea.. yes,yes,yes.. warrior queen of the iceni

bdw.. should be commissioned with loads of biers

i personally would prefer something contemporary
instead of sticking with the national clarion format
although the wings look good.. a bit hells angel like

I didn't realise that Boudicca was 'Buddug' in Welsh - I know someone with that name.

I really like the Clarion image but I agree that it looks dated as it stands. Partially just because of the level of detail available, and the areas of poor contrast making some elements disappear - the torch in particular. Not sure whether many would appreciate the significance of the phrygian cap that she's wearing either - though that's no reason to drop it - could become a cycling cap instead? I dunno, I'm crap that that sort of thing these days.

Hi
RE: 1895. I pay my subs to Charles annually but have to be a bit of an armchair member because of being middle aged, a dad, full of excuses. Could I also be an armchair member of the London Bitallion of NC1895? I'll buy a jersey if you get one and if I get divorced or a "free pass" will come along.

welcome aboard.. yokohamamamamamas

we try to meet up once in a while, find out / discuss what's going on, even organise some rides, plus we support LCEF, if we get this jersey with London Clarion sew-on badge it'll be a miracle. also expect a few forum faces / and LC1895 members at memorial ride on friday evening for Henry Warwick.

converting a beautiful BDW image into a sew-on badge will be fun.. need to keep it clear and simple though

BDW? Not sure what the Beach Boys have to do with it.

Welcome, comrade! I believe it was Marx who stated that you can observe the advancement of a society by the status of its women, so rest assured that your actions or lack thereof need no excuse!

Thank you all for your warm welcomes. In these times it is good to see the spirit of comradeship is thriving.

Given how much we have talked at meetings about Couriers are we all turning up on Friday for the Henry Warwick commemeration?

I'll be there.

Yes!

Certainly will be.

Wen Jian - I think almac is referring to an elder of the forum, Big Daddy Wayne, who is known for his work in graphic design.

^ I should have realised as the Schickster referred to Mr Wayne in the same way only a couple of posts earlier.

I was planning to come on the memorial ride on Friday; unfortunately work has taken me to Bristol and I won't be back in time.

I'll be in LMNH at 6:15 if any of you want to join me
