Important ford fair info for FT stand!
This is info for all FT members attending Ford fair on the FT stand. Me and Henry have decided that it would be a good idea to have a hat competition because it would be a laugh but also it would be a very good ice breaker. It will be a good way to meet other members and hopfully will solve the problem that we had at fitp of people feeling there was groups of people/being left out/finding hard to talk to other members.
Feedback on this idea would be good.

Re: Important ford fair info for FT stand!
I think loads of people have had the same idea. I remembered it being mentioned at the bluewater meet, didnt remember who mentioned it though mike
I think we need to state the criteria for scoring, the hats must not be modified in any way from standard. So that means no lowering or fitting lexus lights to them.
This will help break the ice on the stand, if people dont want to take part then dont bother, but if you do it will definately get people talking

Its cool i was just joking, i just wanted my moment of fame
I think it will be a good idea, and i would be up for finding a hat.
The lexus lights comment just cracked me up, i think i might have just woke some people up in my house
Are we going to put a limit on the price as well, like under £5 or £10?

Its not particularly for recognition, its to provide a talking point for members who wouldnt otherwise start a conversation with each other. An example of what we mean is the old man straw hat i was wearing at fitp, it was the talking point of quite a few conversations i had there.

Re: Important ford fair info for FT stand!
Righto, I'm gonna do it.
Is there going to be a scoring system, or voting to see who's hat is the best?
Already got one, but its sentimental so I wont bring it

I've got a 4' wide sombrero, no chance I'm bringing it though - it'd take up all the space in the car

Re: Important ford fair info for FT stand!
I reckon we should all just vote for whoevers is the best. I will be bringing the reigning champion, the old man straw hat, with tag still attached.

Re: Important ford fair info for FT stand!
Obviously the FTCC (FT Clique-Club) will all be wearing the same hats, that way everyone will know we are totally unaproachable and they should not attempt to converse with us in any way whatsoever...

Re: Important ford fair info for FT stand!
My hat has been sabotaged!!! The tag has been removed and something heavy has been left on top of it. I hope to have it back in shape for the competition, its going to take alot of work though

I have looked into that. Problem is, the tag is the only thing that had the manufacturers details on
