Poolside signs

Looking to get some permanent poolside signs made up. Hopefully ones that will last and not fade in the sun.
Does anyone have any recommendations/contact information as to who might be able to make the signs? Name, location and contact details would be useful.
Thanks

Call into Meps they have just put new ones up around our pool on phase 2 Im sure they can tell you where they had them done. Probably Magic Touch.

First of all, use black text on a white background, don't go for the pretty colour option. This will improve legibility and minimise fading.
If you intend to display a contact 'phone number, include the full Country code e.g. 0090 xxx xxx xxxx to be certain that anyone using a NON - TRNC 'phone will get through.
The most permanent signs are those produced by the Advertising Agencies (Reklam) using cut out plastic letters - the place at the Alsancak end of the Karaoglanoglu bypass is excellent, Magic Touch in Girne can undoubtedly produce something, but really any 'Reklam' should be OK. If anyone else has a specific recommendation, you might find it more convenient.

I print signs up on stiff A4 and get them laminated by Magic Touch... OK They don't last forever... 4 - 5 years good service but it is so cheap. That way I get to convey the message injecting some humour without making things too heavy... no one wants a private pool made to look like the public lidos in the UK...
Easy to mount using double sided tape made for the purpose and while I am getting them done I produce spares to replace them when the time comes... costs less that £1 for two signs...
Plus.... you must be very proud...

The comment is as follows:-
It is a shame that certain contributors feel it necessary to publish entries that basically insult other people's intelligence and these are sometimes rude to individuals, inconsiderate at least and disrespectful to fellow kibkommers.
PID in IMHO and with my limited knowledge of the individual is obviously an intelligent man who has been coming to this island on and off since his teens, loves the Island, has had a house here for a number of years and probably does not need some people to teach him or his grandmother how to suck eggs! And he is a moderator. These types of comments are becoming all too frequent on this forum which for my personal opinion is a shame.
If the CAP FITS WEAR IT and please be respectful to other members!...signing off now!!
Sf, where in the entirety of this thread has anyone done anything more than offer advice and alternatives?

I think it will be many years before Wisden records a wicket haul to beats that.... I've played many matches of a dramatic nature but none as topsy-turvy as that!
