Folks: I am going to try and get a materials swap going. I need ten ppl in the swap if possible. I have two so far, Allan Fish and Myself. Please read the “rules” below carefully before signing up as this may or may not be how it was done in previous materials swaps. Deadline to have the materials to have them to me will be March 25th, which gives you over two months which should be plenty of time as you don’t have to tie any flies unless you just wish to put some with your materials as a “bonus”.
Get some of the little (or big) zip lock bags from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or any other craft stores that sell them. They are very cheap, as in about $2 a pack at my Hobby Lobby. Put your material or materials in these bags, and make SURE and put a paper or sticker with your name on it, so I know who sent me what so I don’t “short change” anybody inadvertently. Here’s the deal though. You’ll need to send 10 different bags. Take your materials and for example, if you have ten yards of chenille to swap, cut it into ten equal lengths, and bag those up. If you have two or more different materials you can or want to send in, you can put them each in separate bags, or put all your materials in the same bag, but just like I said, make SURE and label your bags with your name so I don’t short anybody or get the materials all confused like I said earlier. And if, for example, you wish to swap ten spools of thread, but don’t have ten spools of all black. If that’s the case, you can send 5 each of two colors, or 10 of ten different colors, or however you have to “mix and match it” In this swap, Just send your materials in the normal envelope of box, but I sill spring for the return envelopes as I may need huge ones, or I may need small ones depending on how much stuff the swappers send in, how bulky it is etc. I understand that some tiers have much more materials than others, but whatever you wish to send is fine. The idea is that I may have a bunch of hackles that are great hackles, but maybe I don’t use that particular color and maybe you have materials that are fine, but may be exactly what others tie a lot of etc. The minimum is one material per swapper, but send as much as you can, or wish to send. Sorry for writing rule BOOK here, but I want everybody to understand the rules before committing to signing up. Any questions just email me. Send materials to along with a cpl bucks as per usual to help cover return postage. Like I said, I’ll buy the return packages after I get all the materials and see which size I need to buy: Chuck Alexander 4730 Nubbin Creek Road Lineville, AL 36266 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
