They will have grommet holes so its easy to attach to a pole

.
sh*t, went out weekend and paid £4.85 for eyelets to put in my flag and now you tell me they they are already in them.

Cheap eyelets unused anyone?

The flags do look good, well done Robbo.

Are the eyelets on both sides of the flag Robbo??????

Shouldn't they just be on one side otherwise the weight of the eyelets on the non secured side will surely make it droop/drop and not fly in a gentle breeze.

Well done Robbo, looking good.
The avantage of having eylets both sides will be that they can be turned to face forward irrespective of the wind direction - and or you could put stiffening stick across the top to help it out in a gental breeze.

They look like the dogs thingys Robbo.

Will now have to decide which little corner of the Se7en to pack it and its stiffening stick into or maybe even two stiffening sticks with the flag hung between them, rather like the dogs thingys.

Getting exited now so having to go to the bog more frequently.  :o
