We could have them for sale as radsters turn up on Sat morning (assuming it still starts on Sat). One/two of the marshalls could do it. We could include a detailed list of events/times of things going on, as there are always people who don't know and are always asking. I'll help anyway i can

Great idea .. It could have a list of the show and shine categories and how to enter
How about a small who's who section featuring Nick, Rich, Bob etc and maybe a brief history of the MK event and how it all began .... ?
Just a few ideas ?

.... Oh and I'm happy to interview any "special" guests too once/if things happen  :daumenhoch:

Happy to contribute or help out again Clint, albeit from afar as I've no plans to be in Blighty this year.

Yes deffo like to see this again.

Selling on the way in is a great idea.
When we guided everyone into parking last year it worked well, there was a queue but it was organised. Someone could sell the Rad Rag to the queueing folk as they make their way in.

IMO this is a better way than having them in a box on the bar. 

I can get my two boys to do the selling if the Rad Rag goes ahead.

Great idea ... I think that if we do it we should definitely raise its profile on here and FB and around MK ...maybe get some posters done for around the tenting area? .... All just ideas :daumenhoch:

Nice one Jim  :4_17_5:

Anyone got any suggestions for possible articles?
Title: Re: ******MK 17 Rad Rag*******
Post by: factory pilot on February 08, 2017, 07:50 PM
As I said in our PM a section or running theme of 'The Wit and Wisdom' of the Northern Monkeys featuring Joff and Tony ;) :D
I could also potentially interview Eddie and Martin about the current old school scene in the U.S. compared to here ?
Plus a meet the team section about the Radmins for people new to MK asking them all a few short quick fire questions ?

Not sure we are actually starting the press yet Ant but go ahead, it could always go on the site if it doesn't make it to paper.
This was actually down in the list of possible articles last year but time got the better of us.

I think I'm going to try to interview Alan Woods Clint.
An unsung hero of BMX in the UK his story of the beginnings of our scene needs to be told ?
Ang thoughts lads?
