Here's the logo for this year's event...

Definitely! - T-shirts? or stickers.

My wife makes images into mugs, t-shirts, stickers etc on some online thingy.  I'll ask her how it's done.

Here's one she made earlier.  She made me into a cushion!

Ha! just remembered that I saw T-shirt transfer paper, but it was in the £ shop  so maybe a bit iffy? got to worth a quid tho?
I know photobucket, vistaprint etc do them.

For those of you old enough to remember the very early days of BIKE magazine, you will recall that the then-editor, Mark Williams, was quite keen on off-road riding.

Anyhoo, in the Spring 1972 issue they did a 'Trail and Enduro Machines Giant Test' in and around the area where you lot are planning this years UK Tiger meet. I quote:

Our base for this long weekend's Giant Test was Cerrigynfol, a mercifully civilised cottage near Llanwrthl, a small village on the banks of the Wye in mid-Wales. We chose this area because most of our test riders are familiar with the tracks that proliferate in this beautiful part of Wales.

Llanwrthl is just south of Rhayader. The test (of seven of the machines then available) is an interesting read. They did not have the best of conditions!

Along with Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch, I find Welsh words impossible to pronounce. I mean, who would have thought that a word spelt Cymru is pronounced 'koomri'??

Language variation is a wonderful thing. When my Hungarian partner starts talking to her kids in their native language I don't even try to follow what is being said!

Close,but its more kumry..I think? My grandfather was a fluent speaker,as was his father,who had poetry published in Welsh. But it was never passed down to my father,because my grandmother couldn't speak it.
