I guess I can see all options logically.

In one sense, having the year you "joined" or became a fan is a great one, 
but then for those of us who came late, it's a bit lame. Having a common 
year and excluding the "member since" is a good idea for people like me 
who haven't been a fan for donkeys years, but are still a rabid fan. (Yes, 
I suppose I *am* rabid.) As I say, I can see both being fine. I suppose 
I'd prefer the 25th anniversary idea with no older date on it, simply 
because I'm a newcomer, so to speak.

Silver is a great idea as it's the silver anniversary, but like Tone, I 
feel I missed out on the orange ones. Could I get both or is that a 
colossal nightmare?

(I'm not actually contributing much here, am I? :) )

I would like to have the word Mendicant or "I Groo'd" somewhere on it, 
simply because that's what it's all about, to me at least. It's just 
something fun I'm likely never to be able to show any other fans as I 
don't *know* any other fans here in the UK, really.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is I'll pretty much go with the flow, 
would like an orange and a silver card, would prefer not to have the date 
I "joined", and would like the word Mendicant on it.

Does that help, at all?

Oh and Gary, I'd happily add a few bucks extra postage as I'm in the UK, 
but if you want me to add a specific amount, let me know.

Cheers all,
