can i order one for mia as well aka little Jay W

bugger too late  

[TheBoy]

Wow! What a response

We're looking at this as an experiment - if it goes well, we may well repeat it. If the logistics or costs (still an unknown) involved in making this happen don't work, obviously it won't be repeated.


If we do repeat it, it involves a number of things all happening and being in place at the right time - not least of which, Mrs TheBoy having the time, which is a problem as she is at work all day, at college/courses most weekends, and doing college homework most evenings. That in itself means it definately will not be repeated before spring.

the quick order of black t-shirts, the sizes were based on the poll a few months ago, so there were no small or mediums available anyway.

Bu$$er the Poll, to secure a personalised OOF tee shirt, I'd be happy to 'pay up-front'.

Mine arrived safe and sound in the post this mornin', thanks TB (and Mrs TB for the great stitchwork).

Good idea.  I would happily pay a deposit or the balance up front in order to secure a shirt next production run.

PM me when it might happen please

yep me too jaime  

[TheBoy]

Sadly, it is unmanageable, not to mention divisive/unfair if I prewarn some members but not others, to let them know up front, so obviously that cannot happen.

Really not sure if this will happen again, as it was a bit of mare, and took her much longer than originally envisaged.  She has a whole heap of homework to do before Feb, so it certainly won't be before then.

Wearing mine as i type this  
Very pleased with the service - very professional
Quick delivery - especially considering the personalisation
One negative though - I think the ziploc bag was overkill

With regards to prewarning members, I'm sure something could be worked out - a combination of length of membership and post count?

EDIT:- thinking about it, that i got one that was purely down to chance. rather than some select method does seem unfair to members that have contributed more - post wise or helping out at meets for example. saying that you're not getting it back

And "albatross".

I can't believe I missed that one. I'd buy a standard large black one anyway in the meantime.

If some folks wanted to have a set of these made (obviously itd be through an embroidery shop so theyd cost a bit more), would we be able to have a copy of the OOF pattern?

I could get a price quote if enough were interested.

Maybe just me, but I dont think thats fair to mr and mrs TB who have put a considerable amount of time and effort into OOf shirts.

There is nothing to stop anyone getting a JPEG of the 'logo', sending it to an embroidery company who will make the shirts to order.

I do know a company that does not charge for logo set up and one lot of embroidery or print in one position is included in the price of the top.

They quote on their website polo shirts are £18.91 +VAT BUT i have set up a deal with them for shirts for the sailing club i belong to including 2 lots of embroidery for £16 + VAT.

They advertise the t-shirts at £6.49 +VAT including one lot of embroidery (i.e. logo and name) so based on the above reduced rate for polos i would guess you could have them embroidered and delivered for £10.

They do not charge any extra for 'one offs', but do do a discount if you order 6 or more of the same style (but not necessarily the same size).

If you went down this route it removes the issues of anyone doing it in their 'spare time' and they will do a direct link to their website with payment made directly to them.

Obviously i have not mentioned the company that will do this incase the admins want to keep this as an 'in house pocket money' job.

But if admins are interested i will pm company details

I only buy the larger ziploks, as it allows 2 or 3 to go in one.  Only reason for ziplok is to keep it dry should the postie have a very wet day, and to keep an element of extra protection.

Unsure about postcounts or decisions based on other factors - for certain things (eg, for sale section, and possibly the relaunch of the webspace stuff, its a necessary evil)...
