Question:
A good idea or not?
Option 1:
votes: 0
Anyone have suggestions or so?
I like the idea, but would like the coaster/beer mat to be more coaster than beer mat. i.e. it should be capable of lasting, not something that is cardboard and go dog-eared after the first 8 pints of beer ;)

Explain "coaster" please (my English vocabulary is still not that big ;) ).
I might drop by the shop who makes it this afternoon and will check on the quality.

"coaster" small ship generally confined to coastal waters.
"coaster" one who 'coasts' i.e. rolling downhill in a car with the engine off and out of gear.
"coaster" Generally circular, a small mat for placing drinking glasses on i.e. beer mat
Also for further clarification a coaster is a more robust beer-mat. In general beer-mats are constructed from multiple layers of paper compressed together, commonly called cardboard. They are design for limited use and to soak up any spillage.
A coaster on the other hand is a much more impressive item. It functions much in the same way as a beer-mat, but doesn't have the absorbancy, and will last mcuh longer. The reason for this is that it is constructed from more durable materials. These can include plastic, glass, metal, ceramics and anything else you can mould into a vessel bearing surface. :rolleyes:

I beg to differ....
my Gran used to have lace coasters, or "doilies" (singular doily (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doily))

very absorbant as I remember :P

Ah but they are classified as doilies and not coasters. They are the posh persons version of a coaster. Their function is more decorative.
So how do we go about getting -=[dMw]=- LAN doilies then.
They sound far more swish than cardboard or other vessel bearing surfaces and are washable too.
A nice bit of cross stitch in the middle with the dates and such.

Now that is a cool idea. Wonder what the cost would be?

I have a solitaire on my car keys, really handy, too dear though?
K, I've checked the prices on the beermats. The best offer is 500 pieces for 100 Euros.
She doesn't make them less then 500. She said that the quality was allright though, also after several times of usage...
I've tryed, soz! :(
Now I'm off to start drinking out my -=[dMw]=-Mug... :dummy:
If anyone have some other suggestions....

And the problem is??
My math indicates that that's â,¬.20 each. Another way to look at it is that given we currently have 31 attendees that's a mere â,¬3.33 each for 16 mats. That's like £1.66 for 16 mats..
I'm in but I think we need to take a vote on this before we place the order.
NF
Well, there were also no suggestions on the creative department.
So that's why I've started up the vote.
I'll double check the quality if you want and I can make a picture of an example (I'll have to drop by @ the place that makes them).
