2012 annual TG bow swap (signup thread) update!!!!

[D]

Oh crap I hope we don't have to post pics, even though it makes it a lot more exciteing, and another thing what happens if there is an odd number of people that sign up??  I was thinking about that the other day.

[rmorris]

Think of a circle with 3 people holding a bow, if everyone passes left everyone gets a new bow... Not 100% sure but I don't think that the person you are making the bow for is the person making a bow for you.

[red hill]

The odd number isn't a problem, D.  I'll just get two bows!    
Or, someone just won't receive a bow. LOL!
Just kiddin'. It'll all work out. Got faith in the committee.

Midnight, January 7. That is what Kris put on the first page with the details and rules about the bow trade. Everyone please read this first.

[DVSHUNTER]

Smooth sailing with kelly and kris spearheadin this ride. The rest of us... Well we got kelly and kris!    

[rmorris]

I re read the rules and it says "sign ups will be closed at midnight January the 7th" I figured it would take a day or so to match up 80+ participants, but if we get the results when the sign ups close that would be great because I cant wait to start building. Thanks for the info.

Jorgy,

the easiest way I have found is to use a photobucket account.  Its free and pretty straight forward.  Just copy the code for " direct link" and paste it in the box that pops up for adding a photo here.  Works like a charm.

If you have issue posting pics you can send them to me. I can get them up.

No the person you make for is not the person making yours most of the time. It is random draw. The way I  do it is print off all the names put all the glass guys in one pile draw for them I go down the list of names as I pull the name I right it beside the first person on the list for glass. Once all that make glass and requested glass are drawn.

Then I draw the ones requesting selfbow/wood bows the same.

then I mix the piles up minus the bowyers I have drawn.

I just go down the list and pull a name and type it beside the next person on the list.

Kris and I will split the pile this year since I am in. That way it is a surprise for us both on who is making our bow.

If you are new I need your mailing address if you have not sent it to me or Kris. so I can send it to you bowyer so they know where to send your bow.
It may take a day or two to draw the names and send it out. I will also post a list with all your bow specs to ensure I did not forget someone and I did not screw up your info.

Hope all that makes since.

Little over a day and the sign up is closed.

i use image linky- real easy for me- i just resize the pics first in "paint"- it gives you the size straight away- just what works for me.

Kelly you are the MAN!!!

[Stiks-n-Strings]

D you can email me or someone else pics if you need to.

Pics are real nice but not a requirement that is pushed LOL

DVS I don't do alot with it since Kelly jumped on board last year. Kelly's got this keeping records down to a science. The first year I had everything wrote in a notebook.

Kelly's got spreadsheets with all the important stuff. He kinda took over but I promise I ain't crying about it          :D

If any one has any issues you can contact Me or Kelly or one of the Swap Committee listed on page 1.

If we have to deal with any late bows it will be took to the committee and voted on whether to ban or not. So if anybody is past the grace period your fate is in the hands of 7 LOL

Really it's like the bow swap Mafia and Roy is the Muscle      and Me and Kelly got your address      

Just kidding! It has went off real smooth the past two years and everybody is understanding folk round here so don't get worried bout the Old Man showing up on your doorstep.

(man I'm on a roll LOL)

[DVSHUNTER]

I dont know kris, we do push the pics alot. Sure they arent required, but lets just say a certain old man and crew may show up one day to "suggest" you post pics. Lol

[Roy from Pa]

[Jorgy]
