Cash payment before the evening makes things easier

Following my FB posts last week and the brief discussions collectively and individually on Tuesday of last week, I  met again with Hawkinsport (HS) to clarify a range of issues.

I can now summarise the position;

Hoodies; The latest delivery are in Light Emerald and although the views were mixed, having seen an actual sample the view was to stick to the original colour going forward. HS are therefore offering these new versions at a discount of 50%. The original-coloured hoodies will remain at the previous price.

Crop tops; The new version with now have a lighter mesh material back panel. The remaining stock of the old version will be a offered at a discount of 20%

Short sleeve T shirts; The new stock is lighter and with fewer seams. The lady’s version is in stock and the men’s version is on order. All old stock will be offered at a 25% discount

Long sleeve T shirts; these remain unchanged at present but new stock in due course will be the same material but with changed design to reduce the number of seams. Old stock will be offered with a 25% discount.

Mens vests; the new men’s vest is in stock in a lighter vest material - my apologies to those I showed one to on Tuesday. I was given the wrong sample.
​The lady’s lighter version will be phased in later this year. The old stock for both men and ladies will be reduced by 20%.

The Jacket remains unchanged.

Minutes from 2022

Hawkinsport have suggested a Club bobble hat.

There are numerous variants of the design but the one shown seems to best complement our kit.

They would be £10 and should be here before Christmas if ordered before next Friday - present problem solved!!

The reception was good on Tuesday but any further comments or expression of interest before we proceed?

It has been suggested these would be of interest to the juniors who I gather are not FB fans. If anyone can canvass views form the junior groups it would be appreciated

Circuit sessions are making a return from Monday 3rd October.

Open to all members of the club the sessions are at Hervines Park Pavilion between 7 and 8pm and are to develop strength and conditioning of athletes and to help prevent injury.  The sessions are to suit all abilities.

For more information, see here.

I have had very little feedback to my earlier FB post but set out below an update on the direction of travel.

Vests and crop tops – new lighter weight fabric is proposed. I have a sample which I will have with me at training this evening if anyone would like to see it. The garments will be printed to reduce the number of seams. Views?

Short sleeve tops – these can either be the same lighter material or remain as is. Printed to reduce seams. Feedback please as to whether we change the material or stay as is.

Longer sleeve tops – Suggested we keep the heavier material as this is a winter garment but substantially reduce the seaming by printing. Views please

Hoodies – suggested we keep as existing, but a lighter cheaper option is possible.

I need to get back to Hawkinsport in the next week so feedback asap please either on FB or [email protected]

Thanks - Graham
