Another online group I sometimes meet up with always have an A-Z with a bondage bear sitting on it on their table... newbies can easily recognise the group that way.
It used to be just an A-Z but occasionally you get "innocent" folk sat there with an A-Z in front of them, so the bondage bear stops that confusion
I was going to meet up with a mate I made via ebay at an Ale Festival some time ago... Having not seen a photo of him, I asked how I'd recognise him... I got "I'll be the beardy bloke, drinking a pint" in response
Kinda fits the description of the vast majority of folk attending an ale festival eh? I had visions of myself bounding up to every single bloke asking "Hey! Are you Prod?" and being greeted with puzzled silences...
So I made him come and find me... I said "I bet I'll be the only 39 year old woman there with a red n glittery black Capn Jack Sparrow bag"... and I was
so what is happening about this bm t shirt or patch even...something that we can all instantly recognise. every meet i go to i end up askin Karey who he, whos she, are they one of us? i think Karey was somehow appointed unofficial meeter n greeter lol. be gud to get something to stop situations like poor born to be biker happenin again, coz we are friendly really we are.
oi !! XK !! im watching thee laddy!!!
lol @ Debs.... i dont mind bein the meeter/greeter, but I agree we should have some kinda badge/symbol/mascot type thingy that everyone can recognise.
I reet like WB's idea of something that can be associated with us, rather than a t-shirt, which some ppl might not want to buy, let alone wear?!.. orrrrrrr what about silly hats/bandanas/neck tubes?? lol
Or maybe just some large sign saying BikerMatch plonked on a table, with a couple of the BM folk nearby. It's been a bit of a problem with just about every club I've been a member of, people who know each other tending to talk among themselves and forgetting there are others who are first timers and maybe a bit backward in coming forward. As for the T-shirts, good idea, you don't have to have everyone dressed alike, just three or four people who'll make the time to greet newcomers. A supply of large sticky labels and a felt tip pen has done the trick in the past. Tip, put the labels on people's backs! Reading everyone's back and then going round the front soon breaks the ice.
