minchton Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 This is a very special thank you to Caryl and her friends in the Marlborough Club for their ideas and assistance with a Christmas Float for the Taranaki Club. Caryl sent us a book of ideas and examples of things to make and having pinched all their ideas we constrcted a float using a Morris Minor ute as our fish with the aquarium on a trailer. Not only did it look good but it won "1st" place in the non commercial section of our local parade. Unfortunately I cannot add pictures as my scanner is not currently working. Once again a very big thank you to Caryl and her friends. This is what makes the federation and this forum so special. Mitch and members :lol: And a very Merry Christmas to you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 WELL DONE MITCH and Taranaki Club !!! Any other clubs out there want a copy of the booklet? I don't just mean FNZAS clubs either. The booklet gave step by step instructions on how to turn your vehicle into a fish (complete with 'swimming' fins) and a trailer into an underwater scene. All as cheaply as possible! Although you may belong to a cat club or other, it might give you ideas to make something similar but using your own theme rather than fish. Hurry up and get your scanner working Mitch or send me copies of the photos and I will do it for you. WE WANT PICTURES!! :lol: BTW: Our club won 2 Christmas Parades using the same idea. The judges commented that they liked the fact that, rather than just have a vehicle tow a float, we also made the vehicle part of the float.
