Trofe - de første pins utgitt 
Trofe lanserte de første Athen-pins i april.

Til nå har de laget ca. 30 forskjelligeog regner med ca 100 varianter i år.  Salget og interessen har vært over forventet.  Og Trofe selger pins igjennom ca 700 butikker i Hellas.

Trofe er i ferd med å lage brosjyer, men alt er på Gresk. Trofe har ikke lov til å selge utenom Hellas.  Det er mulig det vil bli en avtale om eksport på et senere tidspunkt.  Sponsorene vil også produsere det aller meste igjennom Trofe. Trofe planlegger også å lage katalog, samt å lage info-sider på internett.

in English Athens report 
The new Int. Airport in Athens opened a few weeks ago, and it is fantastic - state of the art - but a while from the city - about 40 mins no traffic and much longer in traffic - so be prepared to travel.

The Olympic Store opened at the airport, and Trofe Greece has released 12 designs, I will get them onto my website so you can see them soon. All pins are Euro 7.30 each so its not getting any cheaper. The other range of merchandise of T-shirts, caps, swimwear, mugs and plates all lack design and direction - not too nice yet but give it time.

The city itself is quite confusing. The Bus network in mapped and signed in Greek only, but signs are going up around the city in both English and Greek at the moment. Not much construction was seen to be taking place, but I did see the swimming centre next to the 1896 Stadium under construction. The 1896 stadium itself is beautiful, but needs to be cleaned up as anyone can access the site at anytime of the day, and many weeds were growing in between the marble and a bit of rubbish strewn around.
