100 Anniversary of Gallipolli

[Simomatra]

Looking for pens to send for the troops that are deployed for the 100 anniversary of Gallipolli, I will need them by mid May March to make sure they get there. Lets show them we care

[Simomatra]

Lets expand this one and make it that is does not have to be pens just what you can send. If we keep the parcels under 2kg postage is free to them

[Christos]

I will be happy to make more pens or something by May.

I will make a note of this and see how I go in the next few months.

[Simomatra]

Thanks Christos

[LeoGunner]

I'm keen to contribute as well. Do you guys collate the pens prior to sending them o/s?

Cheers
Steve

That's good to hear that you have received the pens. That would put it at 48 hours to get delivered.
