Title: Anyone for the annual "Guess When We Reach 1500 Members" contest?
Post by: pepperman42 on January 22, 2014, 12:59:30 AM
I can chip in a little something kit/decal wise for the closest person to the date without going over. This will have to be Des approved though.

Jeez Steve, a Kit or Decal Sheet!?
   How about a "day at work with the Pepperman"? I'd love to spend a day at Pearson Ground Control watching you melt down over such nonsense as traffic volume, ground vehicle incursions and the like......................on second thought my old heart probably couldn't take it! :o
I'll settle for the prize stated betting on 10 Feb 2014.

I was wondering, if this is going to happen on the occasion of 2000th member. But it is nice to see this contest earlier!

 I will pick February 19th.

Thanks Pepperman for organising it. And if you allow, if I am not among the awardees, I will add an additional prize from my stash.

Thanks Des for the "blessing" and Lance - yeah take the decal sheet or kit, no one wants to be at YYZ these days. Thanks for the offer Przemol. It will add to the interest. Enjoy guys - just make sure there's no repeats on the dates picked.

I'm going to add to the deal.
 50x 1/32 eyelets and some of my 'strippers'  for the person who is 10 days late in his estimation. Now, even losers can become winners!

If I was to win on the 4th the bloke on the 14th would take the prize.

T's & C's
10 days from the winner - nearest date applies.

If Sasho took the main prize today, Nigel Jackson would be the lucky Buckler! 10 days after the winning date.  ;)

Well done Gents. Nice to see a Canuck on the podium. Your gold medal is a 20 pound gift certificate with Rowan of Pheon Decals and he has generously added free shipping to the mix. Im just going to see which way we set up the credit but all will be available very soon, Thanks to everybody that took part and of course to Des who made this all possible in the first place.

Thanks very much, Steve, that's very generous. Your humble Saskie neighbour graciously accepts. I'll expect them to be delivered by the guy in the white gloves that carts the Stanley Cup around. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got another press conference to get to. I knew I'd be famous after guessing the date correctly, but this is getting ridiculous...
