For the first time in the history of the SWGFA, we are going to have an officially licensed item made exclusively for Celebration V. This will be in the form of a patch which will be made up of five pieces, each representing a different club. The other clubs involved with us are the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society (PSWCS), the Kentucky Star Wars Collectors Club (KSWCC), the DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC) and the Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club (OSWCC). The patch image has been shown at February's Orlando System meeting, was sent to the SWGFA mailing list, and will appear in this post at a later date once it is released to the general public.
Chris is now taking pre-orders which will be $15.00 per set.

Allow me to explain why these cost money and what's involved.
The total cost to be involved in this patch is $750.00 per club. We, along with the other four clubs, are selling 50 patches to raise our share of the bill. I've only got 50 complete sets to sell, so these will be first come, first served. I will not be holding patches for anyone. If you would like to purchase a patch set, send me an email and let me know as soon as possible. I will then write you back to confirm with instructions on how to complete your pre-order. You can pick up your patch at our table at any time during the convention. For those not attending Celebration V, we'll make other arrangements to get you your patch. In addition to the 50 complete sets we are getting for our club, we will also be getting 750 pieces of our section of the patch to hand to attendees. The other four clubs will have their 750 pieces as well which means convention attendees trying to put together a full set will need to stop by each club table and ask for a patch. With 35,000+ attendees and only 750 sets to go around, this is sure to be one of the most sought after exclusives at the convention!
