I'd like to see polo shirts with a "Fairport 50" logo embroidered/similar, rather than /as well as the usual band/tour t-shirts.
I guess someone somewhere is already looking at designing a logo for next year - but if it hasn't already been done, I'd like to suggest using the 'traditional' Xmas font - with "Fairport's" (as per the Cropredy logo) with a large "50" beneath, and "since 1967" or "est. 1967" as a 'strapline'... letters to be in gold with red edging/highlights, to reflect the 50th anniversary and subliminally Cropredy (Red & Gold). I'm rubbish at drawing/photoshopping, hence the description...
A 50th anniversary beer - draught and bottled? - would be good, maybe pint glasses with the logo?
I assume a live CD from the 2017 Wintour will be a shoo-in.

Yes, a polo shirt or sweatshirt with a subtle logo would be a great thing for the anniversary.

Polo shirt would be good. Better than a t-shirt.

Definitely like the idea of the polo shirt - a really elegant design (along the lines of that described) would be great.
I also like the idea of pint glasses - but would like a proper tankard (probably pewter but possibly stoneware) would be even better - presumably with the same logo as the shirt.
I realise it's a specialist taste but I remember really liking the "who knows where the time goes" watch - I personally would love a good commemorative pocket watch but suspect it wouldn;t be popular enough to have a large enough production run fro me to be able to afford to buy one!

Scanty panties to make a return.
Who ever thought that was a good line in merchandise?
On personal note, something a bit bigger than xml would be nice, there's loads of fat blokes at property who would buy a polo or t shirt if larger sizes were available.

Really? A live CD from Cropredy with all the guests would be much better received in J-S Towers. How about some tie dyes? I miss my old, what was it, '93 (??) one in gruesome yellow and light blue. Hideous. I loved it  |

What about a 50-piece tea service?
Or his 'n' hers Fairport Cropredy Convention stormproof coats?
Or how about we forget all the fluff and have some MUSIC?

Collect the whole set, what is it, 25 different characters? Then to extend the range a bit more we have 1967 Simon, 1980 Simon etc etc... All that's needed now is a hugely popular kids TV series to drive the sales in ToysRus... |
