Title: Fake Grass
Post by: mini-thumper on September 12, 2006, 07:55:56 AM

Does anyone know of a supplier of cheap 'imitation grass' (and not the type easily available from Amsterdam!). Its required for the stand at Stafford in October. Ideally astroturf/fake lawn would be best, but its very expensive and heavy, so as a compromise the stuff that green grocers use for their displays would probably do.

All sensible ideas (and that especially means you Mr Keenan & Mr Dalby) most gratefully received.

What can I say Bill? Apart from actually paying for the stuff you've given me a very comprehensive reply. I will contact them tomorrow and probably order a few.

Many thanks

Boyd

Aye Boyd,

No problem! It's the least you can do for a man who's bike is now throwing a pork sausage up a close!! ;-)

Cheers, Bill

Aye Rog,

Its that polythene film thing as you try to skin the frame, 'pop' the acres of bubble wrap or use the cling wrap! ;-)

Maybe you prefer the 'Irrigation, Pop-Ups and Barbed LDPE pipe and fittings'!

Bring on the Dahlies!

Bill
