Hi Roy.
Think you forgot to mention postage.
You want dollar bills or what? ( bummer, I just thrown a couple away, never thought I'd get to use them)
Cheers
Jon
I'll have a crack at it, fly will be quite a shabby Coch-Y-Bonddhu or a Kites Imperial (if I can get some heron).
If it's not one of those it will be a Welsh pattern anyway.

Ok Roy, you're on.

Mine will be a personal traditional style pattern or a close copy buzzer. I'm in UK too so GBP will be coming in your direction. :)

Sure. Me 2. I'll send 21 of these. A simple pattern, but deadly - so I heard. :D

Cheers,

May I respectfully suggest that the entrants also send a self addressed stamped container for the returns? Fold flat boxes are sold at the post office, and they will determine the postage given the weight of your fly package. This will make the task of our host much easier, along with assuring the correct address and postage.

Good idea 101, but I doubt the british mail system does accept foreign stamps. I think sending a return container with cash included for the return postage is the way to go. Just my 2pennas

Chaps,
thanks for looking after my interest.

All participants please enclose a Self Addressed Envelope & toe-tag the flies.
I can accept a US dollar - no more than one is required.
Euro are also useful; again one should suffice.
Within the UK, please just affix a stamp or two.

If you are in any other area, eg OZ/NZ, just get the flies here & I'll cover the outgoing postage.

tight silks,
Roy

I'm in. What's the address? I may send the Worlds largest Mayfly 4 inch long.
One must admit, fulfillment of most obsessions starts with potential for the given becoming wet.

I am going to hold fire on the address for now as I have to move house in the next three months, so if I'm lucky I may have a new one after the new year.

Ok guys you are all in, please remember that you will have to use a BIG box, so you can get tsk's flies back without crushing. A shoebox should suffice. :)

I'll make sure to get a house with a large letterbox

later,
Roy

Count me in Roy.

Make sure you have the asbestos gloves under the chainmail gloves when opening.
