Allotments 4 All

sounds like a good idea!

Would it be worth having a design available for purchase as a graphics file for download. Interested members could take the file to their local printer, or print themselves if they have a colour printer available, and iron on themselves onto their own t-shirt. The costs and time implications to Dan would pretty much be nothing, apart from paypal fees and it would keep costs down for the forum members as well, we could also make sure we all have a t-shirt that fits. A certain amount of trust would be involved that members don't email others free copies of the files. A new design could be issued each year with perhaps a competition to design it.

I've just run up a prototype just to get an idea you understand ;D Mind you I have had this T-shirt for over 3 years now. 8)

Lorna:- no disrespect intended, but I do not think that the majority of the membership are in your situation.
The sarcasm I admit to, however Dan requires a better response to the poll. The more votes cast the greater the chance of his ideas becoming a reality.

Daisymay:- that is excellent news. ;D

Roy:- Nice polo shirt good organic colours I like it. ;D

Flowerlady:- I will gratefully accept the 3 foot wooden spoon if it gets members to vote in which ever way they wish.

All I want is for the members to cast a vote, at the end of the day it is just the click of the mouse, how much bother is that. ???

  I have a 54 inch chest....so we all going xxxxl.........?

 :o Are you male or female? It's so I can get a better picture of you in my mind ;D :P ;D :D

Hi
Have read this topic and admit I looked and didn't vote. However I don't know how to vote. If some kind soul can tell me how I will vote to buy a t shirt.

at the top of the page there should be a poll where you can click next to which one you want to go for and submit your vote?!?

Hi
I can see the poll and the choices, but am unable to click anything ???
Melanie

Are you sure you haven't voted already? Once you vote you will see the results and clicking a choice will disappear. :)

I don't know, possibly a long time ago.
Doh I am stupid if i did
Sorry :-[
Melanie

 ;D Don't worry, I tried to vote again until I realised I voted right at the beginning ::)

Hi All,
         78 votes cast so far, my thanks to the 30 odd members who were kind enough to take the time to take part in the poll after I resurrected it. :)

There was some excellent input in sourcing a manufacturer, and logo design ideas. ;D

At the end of the day it is the number of votes cast which will see this project become a reality. ;)

I have already told my O/H that I want one for Christmas, and she good woman that she is has agreed to purchase same. ;D

So please cast a vote I want my T-Shirt. :)

right-i'm in a hurry so i skipped the middle two pages-my apologies if this has already been covered-so-heres the warning!!
we thought i't'd be a good idea to stock t shirts with our images(we are painters)on-WHAT A FLAMIN NIGHTMARE!!!!!
you will end up with all bigs left..
or all smalls left...
or the wrong colour.....or the wrong style-i tell you-its a bugger trying to please all of the people all of the time-or any of the time!so-i would buy a badge-maybe two-but i will not buy a tee shirt- ;D ;D ;D

Hi All,
         My final word on this subject, we were once a nation of people who would find a way to solve a problem regardless of the difficulties, to make an idea a reality. ;D

It would seem that we have become like the young people of this age, if you require to work to make an idea a reality its not worth the bother.  ::)

                                              PREMTAL

Badges,keyrings,notebooks,mugs,flowerpots with logo I would go for .

T-shirts... I would have to be persuaded as I don't do logos across my chest,besides Dan would have to pay me for such a prominent advertising space  LOL  !

NOT AT ALL PREMTAL!
as 5 or 6 people on this site alone can testify,i bend over backwards to satisfy customers requirements-but having been in retail for 25 years i also know the pitfalls...and one thing nobody should aspire to is to be a busy fool which is so easy to become if you dont listen to advice from people who've been there ,done that and....o no-BOUGHT THE TEE SHIRT! ;)
stick to badges and baseball caps-put me down for 2 badges.
best wishes
kitty ;D

I am one of those people and I have never known anyone to be more helpful, it's always been a pleasure to buy from kitty.  :)
Having also been in retail I agree it is impossible to please everyone  :( even if you had tee shirts in every colour under the sun and in all sizes.

ta mm! ;D
thing is ....its easy to be wise after the event and if people can help you why not listen to 'em?
ah well...you can tell some of the people some of the time..... ;D

Hi Kitty,
            I seem to have struck a verve, having been there done that etc, I have always found it best to tell people what is available rather than ask what they want. ;)

The former allows you to gauge a possible market, the latter leaves you in no man's land. ::)

As the the Busy fool jibe tut tut!!! :o


                                                        PREMTAL

not a jibe prem-bitter experiance! ::)

as for telling people what is available,rather than ask what they want-customers dont work like that-they tend to want what they want and if its only  'what is available-'they wont buy it !
therefore its easy to be left with 'unsaleables'

how many times have you been into a shop for something 'specific' and left emptyhanded when they have 'what is available' but its not quite what you want?
yes-there are people who think-well....i'll have it anyway-but the vast majority will leave emptyhanded!

the main difficulty i see with supplying a limited market(how many people answered the poll?)is the chances of you hitting the right sizes are slim-and if you order from a wholesaler in such small size specific quantities,the price will be ginormous.
but i wish you luck..i dont know your background which might be retail. :)
(i'll still have 2 badges please! ;D)
