I am about to order the new badge to pair of with my old GWF badge, if any other Aussies would like one, I will happily do a bulk buy and you can pay me in due course when I post out from Qld.

Cheers,
Chris Henderson

Thanks for your offer, yes I would like one.

David

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Please count me in as well.

Thanks for organising this.

Doug

Thanks
Shirley

You can leave it open for a bit longer if you like Chris, as I won't be able to post them before Monday anyway, and we are dogged by postal strikes next week.

No worries Kate, I wll leave it until Saturda 31 October.

Any other Auusies who want to jump onto a bulk buy of the GWF badges, feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
Chris

What happened to Ozzie? She used to post here all the time. Did trying to quit smoking do her in for good?

Hi Chris,

If it isn't too much trouble, I would also appreciate the opportunity to purchase a new badge. I am in Brisbane.

Many regards,

Matt

I am interested in 2 although I am over the ditch.

My son lives in Shorncliffe, Brisbane and heading over here in 3 weeks time for a short holiday to remember what frosts are like.

Should be able sort out payment and postage to him if thats OK. Even if its too late he can post to me.

G'day Chris,
Please count me in.

I'm up to 12 so far, I was expecting more of the Fromelles group and the public holiday visitors to the AWM and Canberra that I missed, to pounce, I know of another two who may want one.

The price basis for delivery in Australia will be the badge cost, plus a percentage of the bulk postal cost, plus the local mail cost (is it still 50c for letters?). Once I have ordered the badges and know the postage cost from the UK, I will make a post seeking each buyer PM me with their postal details and for them to make payment to my paypal account. I should then get then out quite expeditiously.

Cheers,
Hendo

Don't see yerself off Hendo local postage has gone up to 55c must have Australia Post make a profit you know
David

G'Day Chris

Count me in.

Will be on the Gold Coast for a while after Nov.16th.

Drop me a PM regarding payment.

Thanks for the offer

Peter

I've just realsied why you are organising a bulk order Chris.

You actually want a batch to hang around your hat instead of the traditional corks, don't you. Admit it!

Brilliant!!!!

I will rattle the cages of a few of the others for you.

BTW if anyone has an 'old' GWF badge that they no long want I would be most appreciative (my MATE Tim forgot about me!!!). As a serious badge collector I would be sad without the other one

Have a great weekend everyone

Bright Blessings
Sandra

Yes, please. I'll PM you!

Yes please! Will PM you as well.

G'day all,

I will leave the order for another twenty four hours to give any late requests to come on board, I will also give about two hours notice tomorrow before I close the order of with Kate.

Now Kate I use the Aeroguard to keep the flies away, besides which even when I was a kid when me mum tied the pork bone on a bit of string around my neck so the dog would play with me, I never had trouble with flies (except in Canberra).

Aussie Pals, pleas no PM's just identify your interest for the badge here, as this is where I will collate my numbers from. Let's save the PM's for your postage and payment details once I have the badges.


Cheers,
Hendo

G'day all,

Bumping this up again. I will close orders at 1801hrs (6.01pm) Australian Eastern Standard Time this evening that is 7.01pm AEDST, 6.31pm ACDST, 5.01pm ACDT, 4.01pm AWST, 8.01am GMT, 0001Z, or if you happen to live in Eucla, WA where they have their own time zone 4.46pm WCT.

So if you know any Aussie Pals who may want a GWF badge, give them a nudge to post by 6pm my time tonight.


Cheers,
Hendo

I can't imagine anyone from Eucla wanting a badge Hendo, population of one and falling
David

I have 14 so far, any last bids for a badge?

Cheers,
Hendo

Don't worry Sandra, even I don't have one of the last batch - and I designed it!!

Hendo, thanks for the offer to organise this but to be honest I'm not a badge collector nor a badge wearer. It's just not my thing. I only have a small handful that hold meaning and that's because they were given to me by my closest friends.

Cheers,
Tim L.

Tim,

Actually I'm with you on both counts, being neither a wearer or collector. But in this case I am making an exception on the basis that it may be a good conversation starter on my next trip to Europe.


Cheers,
Hendo

I can't get to the Post Office for another 24 hours, so come all ye faithful badge-owning wannabes. There is still time to join the great trans-global badge bonanza!

Kate in that case I will leave it open for the Aussie Pals until 6pm AEST Monday, 8 am GMT. At present I have requests for 15 badges.


Cheers,
Hendo

OK Hendo. I'm just nipping off for my tea-break now. Will customers please ring the bell on the counter for service.

Orders closed. Ding ding. Kate I will PM you now.

Cheers,
Hendo

Aussie Pals,

I have firm for 15, but have requested twenty in case there are the one or two others who do want one soon. I'm not out to skim any of this, so once Kate can tell me the total cost it will be the badge cost, plus a portion of the Royal Mail postage, plus 55c for AustPost. I will post the individual cost here once I know it and before I request payment.

Those who have requested a badge, please PM me with your postage details and I will PM you my bank direct deposit details.

Cheers,

Aussie Pals,

Kate informs me that the badges are in the mail, depending on what is going on with the Royal Mail disputes I expect they will arrive early next week. I shall advise in due course.

Cheers,
Hendo

Thanks muchly,

Doug

Aussie Pals,

The GWF badges have arrived, my cost was 55GBP, which equates to 2.75 GBP = 4.94213 AUD per badge (Kate sent twenty so I have a couple spare). The cost with Australian postage of 55c, will be $5.50.

I would really prefer payment by Direct Deposit to my CBA bank account, those that have ordered please PM with your email address and include your postage details and I will email my bank account details and postage address.

I have another five badges for any other Aussie Pal who may want one.


Regards,
Hendo

Guyas and Gals,

I acknowledge those that have PM'd me. I haven't responded as am midway through upgrading to Windows 7 and have lost the internet connection on my desktop. I will bang out my bank account detaisl either tomorrow night (Thursday) or Friday and do the post out o the weekend.


Cheers,
Hendo

Hendo,
You lose the internet with the upgrade. I downloaded Thunderbird and it works a treat for me, different format but didn't take long to get used to it.
David

G'day Aussie Pals,

The badges are in the mail to those who have supplied their postal addresses, I have six outstanding addresses and a couple of spare badges.

Cheers,
Hendo

Maybe they have gone walkabout?

Very excited
Cheers
Shirley

All the way across the Nullabor it would seem Kate

G'day all,
