Black Ribbons For Service Of Celebration

[micra_wrc]

Thought I would consolidate my posts on various threads and explain the format of the black ribbons, for those who may have missed it

For those attending Sunday's service, it would be nice if all cars in our convoy sports a black ribbon tied on the driver side wing mirror.

You should be able to get them at florists (and no, petrol station forecourts do not constitute a florist) or fabrics/haberdashery shop (place that sells buttons and material)...

We are using solid black ribbon, 1 inch wide, 20 inches (500 mm) long, hooped around the drivers side wing mirror and secured at the base with a staple

Recommend selecting a fabric that will retain its shape when wet, just thinking that you dont want a soggy mess hanging off your mirror if it rains.

A staple or two is enough to secure the ribbon - mine stayed on while going along the motorway.

I've got 18 ribbons spare (bought a big long reel of it earlier this week) so if you want one, come and find me at Happendon on Sunday.

Frank C also has some spare ribbons.

I also bought 5m of ribbon a few days ago, so anyone who needs it can get it from me also...

I think we've cornered the market in black ribbon. I've got shedloads too so don't worry if you can't get any in time. There will be more than enough to ensure every car carries one.
