Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
There will be a A4 paper that goes along where Archie goes.
I think at the end of his travels,we can have an auction,and that money can go into the monthly draw.

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Archie is a cool Beetle.
How long do you think it will take him to go from SA to the USA,then the UK and France and back to SA?

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Chris, what a wonderful idea, I would be honored to receive and entertain Archie here in the US. Already looking for a good spot to take the pic.
Don't argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell the difference

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Might be good idea to organize who's next in each case on this thread and maybe send some photos of Archie's time with you

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
I think the reciever should decide who he wants to send the beetle to. Once he's sent it he can tell us where its going to.
There is a list of where the beetle has already been, so there'll be little chance of going to the same address twice.
