Supported! We were worrying about the Fate of Colonia Iulia Equestris...
Ref your July 1st post: Nyon in Valais? Then we are almost neighbours (Lyon).
I took the liberty to post on my blog

Now I am uncertain about their flag, the 'national' color of the sash /'tie'knotted under the pikehead of the flag staff, and the livery of drummers. Of course I intended to base them on the main colors of the blason of Nyon (probably in descending order, i.e. color of the field of the coat-of-arms for the 'national' 'tie' and the main color of the drummers' coat, secondary & tertiary colors for the flags and the livery lace), but I was unable tofind a color image of the blason f Nyon on the web...
