Archie-The Traveling Beetle

Post by Chris »

I am going to send a member a toy Beetle called Archie.That member must then take a pic,sign the piece of paper and say where he/she stays i.e. Chris (PE SA),and send it to the next member.That member or person must then post one pic on the site and send Archie on his way to the next member.

Idealy it would be nice if Archie can go overseas as well,to all our members abroad like Watercool,Eben and ZeroAxe.Take an interresting pic of where it's been,maybe with a well known landmark or even with the family.

Who wants to have Archie first? :D

Brilliant idea! Can't wait for Archie to 'travel' to Jhb :D ! I think creativity of the pics should also be heavily stressed. *ponders* :twisted: :twisted:

A picture should be taken of Archie on the forum member's ACVW (running or not!) 8)

What a great response!!

Dirk will have it in the next couple of days and he can give it by hand to the next person in CT.That person can then pass it on to the next person untill everyone that wants to take a pic with Archie has had him and then send him on to the next town.
