Turns out that Michael Kutsche is Emil's Grans second cousin 14 times removed brother in law and he said its OK . Well thats Bulgaria for you , your right hand never knows what you left hand is doing .

Not that I'm about to rise to the bait of such garbage, but it's actually the responsibility of anybody claiming to be a 'professional printer' that should know what they're doing when it comes to use of copyrighted images.

Stealing copyrighted material, putting some text over the top and claiming the work as your own is theft, simple. That's not professional, nor is it ethical, nor do I find it remotely a joking matter.

I would have thought that the actual owners need to give permission? not their remote family.

Not that I want to drag this topic on any longer, it's actually Disney Enterprises Inc. that would have to issue the permissions as they commissioned Kutsche to create the one-off artwork to promote a film.

I have politely asked JB on more than one occasion to send me, or post here, the written permissions that they 'claim' they have to the copyrighted materials, but has so far been unable to do so.

No further flippant replies will be tolerated and I'd be grateful if this thread remain on-topic and all future replies concern the forthcoming Tea Party.

Fab thanks Sarah is it you that has the cards. Have a great day and look forward to hearing all about it

Hi Berni,
We had a lovely afternoon. It was nice to meet people face to face.
And the high tea was sumptuous. The ladies all worked hard and a good time was had by all.

Thanks a million for the update Itchy Not heard from Jo yet but I guess she is shattered after the long day. Thank you both for attending and supporting them. Mike Black has put some photos on facebook and looks like a good time was had by all and you survived his singing Oops!! guess I am in trouble now (love him really ) Did you not get your pipes out Itchy or is that a special treat awaiting us at the Garden Party 6th Oct :Kilt: I have put you on the programme now so now you can get yourself in shape

Hi Guys

Thank you to TrustGlobal Radio for your support to our cause

i am so excited I can hardly type: I have only just got home from work and found this wonderful message stating a MASSIVE amount of 600.31lve has been raised this = £241 a truly amazing amount, I am flabbergasted stuck for words - believe me that is a first for me.

PHEW!!! what can I say apart from THANK YOU Joanne, Irene Dave and Nigel and all the family for donating your first High Tea Party funds to the Silistra Orphanage Bunk Bed Appeal. Also to all you lovely people who traveled for miles and miles to support them. We are just amazed at your generosity thanks a million times over you ALL did a fantastic job and this amount will almost buy a set of bunk beds set. Fab!!

I would like to say we met Joanna &
Irene and their husbands at our Silistra Garden Party last year and again at a friends house a week later. We talked for hours and Joanna and Irene continued to say they wish to help raise funds for our cause.

Just for the record, all these lovely people in Bulgaria have nothing what so ever to do with our orphanage which is a UK based charity, all they ever wanted to do was to help us and raise funds, like last year Sue, Dave &
:: Mike &
Jerry they all put on events to raised funds for the Orphanage when needed. Christine &
Lester are doing bootsale in BG. Again, this was all their own decision and they did all the work and then donated the funds to us. Thank you all so much you are just AMAZING!!

When we were told of their plans, needless to say we were delighted and very happy to help promote their events through our media contacts including our wonderful circle of friends at TrustGlobal Radio who have always been there to support us along with Cindy/Kate and the team at Anglo-Info, Darren &
Denise at Quest. We are truly blessed to have found such wonderful supporters and to think that Dougie and I only met these people for a few hours amazing!

Thank you a million times Joanna &
Irene we are overwhelmed at your generosity.
Berni &
Dougie xx :

What a great day everyone had here are some of the pictures

Well done enveryone and it looks like you all had a good time just sorry I couldn't make it. Is this going to be a regular event Berni.

They are trying to get it set up as a business however, the first one was a trial and they decided to raise funds for the Silistra Orphanage. So we will see how it goes, we will supply them with English books and china where we can and when they get established they may have another one next year to raise funds.
