Merry Christmas!!!

I know that we have 1 artist in the club who has been bandying his art about lately, so I thought that I would too.
Now don't get too excited, I haven't thrown the Strava gauntlet down, as I use a more traditional medium in my work.
I thought it would be nice to do a Christmas themed painting to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Wow, super nice! If you were commercially minded, you could have them printed off as cards and I bet we'd all snap up a heap of them. I would, anyway

Let me be the first to say we definitely have two Tripleshot artists! And further to Claire's comment, I think you could do a good business on the scarves too...... Louise W. would definitely want one!
Merry Christmas Neil and all!
P.S. I was sorry I missed the Christmas party ..... I understand there was food

Dude needs a helmet, fenders, and some big-ass lights if he's gonna ride the Festive 500 with us.

As Claire pointed out, it might be a good idea to use this image for some Tripleshot Christmas cards.
I am happy to get them printed, and would like to donate the proceeds to the Tripleshot youth racing fund.
I would like to order them this week, so if you think this is a good idea, and you would like to buy some, please let me know how many you would like.
Cheers
Neil

Aha! You are a capitalist... or maybe more like a philanthropist. Yes, that seems nicer. Sign me up for 10, please!

Hi guys
I have found a great printer and have ordered 100 cards from him.
The cards will be $5 each, and all profits will go to the Tripleshot Youth Team.
60 have sold already, so if anybody would like some cards, please let me know as soon as possible.
It's for a great cause.
Cheers
Neil

Hi Guys
Got the cards today, and I must say they look great!
Need to arrange a suitable time for pick up.
Let me know what suits.
Cheers

Neil, since you've clearly drawn my bike into your card, I guess I better take 10. Just a note for next time - my rims are pink too, and the little man, that should probably be a stick woman maybe with a tiera.
Nice job by the way!

Hi all
Rather than me take the cards along to coffee on the morning rides, I thought it might be best if we all got together at a local coffee emporium.
I will be at Cook Street Starbucks tomorrow (Wednesday) evening from 7:00 till 8:00 to distribute the Christmas cards.
Cheers
Neil

A coffee emporium at 7pm? Why? There's a perfectly good beer emporium called The Beagle across the road! I'd buy you a pint.

I might be able to pop by the Beagle on Thurs but also have a kid's concert that night. I trust there will be another option at some point for those who don't make it to the pub... Why not put some in your backpack for Friday? The stack should be smaller by then. If I can carry a couple dozen cookies in my jersey pockets for the ride... Well, at least cards are nice and flat and not too crumbly.
