BASKET COUNTERS WANTED

[GREENGRASS]

Does anybody have any basket counters that they would be willing to sell, or is it possible to buy them new from anywhere. We would be looking for approx 15 counters. Any info or help would be appreciated.

when you say you need 15 why is this? in both the clubs im in and the national we have one counter for hen baskets one for cocks and a marking block, everytime you put a bird in a basket move the block when one has been put in all and you are back at the begining we move the counter to one. and so on if you get me. all the counter is is a circular block of wood with a piece of batton screwed to the centre marked 1 - 22. hope this helps. or i may have gone off the beaten track a little  :-P

WHAT WE USE IS A PIECE OF CARDBOARD CUT INTO A CIRCLE WITH ANOTHER PIECE CUT TO MAKE A ARROW SHAPE WHICH IS THEN FIXED IN THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE WITH A NUT AND BOLT SO THAT IT SPINS AROUND,THEN AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCLE IS NUMBERED SAY 1-20 DEPENDING WHAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF BIRDS YOU PUT IN YOUR CRATES IS,THEN EVERY TIME A BIRD IS PUT IN THE CRATE JUST MOVE THE POINTER TO THE NEXT NUMBER UNTIL YOU HAVE A FULL CRATE.
