Recommended Posts

i need help! i am a flag newbie and am making a flag for this year.

I have yet to acquire my telescopic pole and what not.

my question is: how do you attach the flag pole to the ground? is it with a spike or what?

may seem a daft question but i am quite miffed as what to buy to do so :S

any help would be apprieciated. Thankyou

Right, ordered my flag this afternoon so hopefully it should be here for the start of next week. Couple of questions. Last year I used Dylon fabric pens which were ok but a bit faint. This year I think I'll need to use paint to get the colours I need, am I best using Dylon fabric paint? Any other suggestions for good brands?

Also whilst I am here, for those that use fairy lights to brighten up your flag pole, what size of cable do you have? I have a 7m pole but the only lights I can see at a reasonable price only have a 3.5m cable. :)

Am yer man here :)

I posted earlier in the thread the paint I used the past couple years, search back mate. Comes in loads of colours/effects and is fairly cheap. Goes on well and lasts for ages :)

Also I have 5 metre pole and use 2 sets of lights to go right up :)

But got new lights at 4 metres long so just going to use one set of them. Link on eBay below

They are good quality, take around a week to arrive. They flash too :D

See my edit for a link to said paint.

Aye got it at Hobbycraft at the Fort, £3 a tub I think it was.

They are pretty waterproof. The 2 sets I got for 2007 season still work plus 2 sets from last year :)

Add the 3 sets of those lights off eBay and we will have planes landing at eFest Camps this year :)

I'd go for the ones I linked.. they also do 1 colour ones.. works out cheaper from Hong Kong

    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
