Swap of the month group signups/July swap

[ol' blue]

This signup is for a monthly swap that will take place every month from now until the end of 08. By signing up for this one, you will have to commit to tieing for a swap every month.

READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING UP: Do not sign up if you cannot fulfill your part of these swaps. Your flies have to be on time every month, and you have to complete every swap in the series. There will be a total of 8 spots for this series, and if you default on a swap or produce late flies without a genuinely acceptable reason, your spot will be offered to someone else to fill. I've been lenient on deadlines in the past, but because this is a series, I am going to be much more strict on this one.
However, if you have a month that you cannot complete, tell us BEFORE the month starts, and I will find you a substitute for that month only and you can keep your spot in the swap.

Standard rules apply. Send your toetagged flies in a crush proof container with return packaging and postage. NO METERED MAIL! I don't require extras or other goodies.

If the swap fills and you want in, go ahead and put your name in, and I'll keep a alternate list in case we have drop outs.

blue,

i know my flies dont rate with some others but....if you dont fill up i'd love to be in it.

[ol' blue]

You are all signed up. And to clarify, if you have a month that you cannot complete, tell us BEFORE the month starts, and I will find you a substitute for that month only and you can keep your spot in the swap.

One spot left!

ol'blue this sounds like fun i would like in if i may. this will be a good way to learn patterns i don't normally tie. i hope im not too late.

[ol' blue]

You are in and the group is full. If anyone wants on the waiting list, speak up. It will be first come, first serve.

For those of you who haven't declared a pattern for the July swap, be sure to tell us your pattern as soon as you decide.
