The following information was prepared a week ago and has been submitted for inclusion in the next newsletter. As we'd like to expedite the order process, an advance notification is being posted here. Note the update at the bottom which contains additional pricing information: ------------------------- We are about to place an order for an additional supply of club jerseys. Following interest expressed by members for a broader range of clothing using the club's red/blue/purple on white splat design, the Board has decided the following: 1. Casual Jackets We will order (but not carry in stock) Sugoi manufactured casual jackets. The jacket will not be cycling specific but could be used as a windbreaker while riding in cool weather. The predominant colour will be the club blue with a partial facing in the splat design. It will have zippered side pockets. A generic sample (not in club colours) will be available for view in the office. The price will be around $80 plus tax. The minimum order is 36, so we will need prepaid commitments for this number before the club places an order. Initially verbal commitments only are needed. When we have received verbal commitments for 36 we will for the cash up front. Once cash has been collected an order will be placed. Contact Rosmarie (230-1064) immediately to place your orders. 2. Long sleeve jerseys We have a few of these in stock in small and medium sizes. They are of the discontinued stripe design. We shall be placing an order for a further supply in the current splat design. We'd like to hear from you on your level of interest in these jerseys so we can get a feel for the quantity and sizes to order. Please contact Rosmarie. 3. Skin suits We are just about out of stock of skin suits so we shall order and stock a new supply. The splat portion of the design is very classy but the shorts portion looks somewhat dated compared to outfits worn by other clubs and the pros. So as to modernize the look and give the suit a more integrated appearance, the predominant colour of the shorts portion will be changed from black to the club blue. Thus the bottom half now will be blue with a white stripe and the words "Ottawa Bicycle Club" in club red. The top half will remain in the splat design. 4. Shorts Related to the change in the design of the skin suit, we are soliciting from Louis Garneau price quotes for club shorts based on the shorts portion of the new skin suit. Club shorts will match club jerseys to make a very smart "club uniform". Should the quoted price be reasonable, the Board will consider carrying them in stock and making them available for purchase by club members. Watch for more information on this item. 5. Socks As with the shorts, we are enquiring as to the cost of socks with a design to match other OBC clothing. Update ------ Shorts: there is an error in the description of the above. The word "Ottawa" is in the white panel not "Ottawa Bicycle Club". The selling price will be around $50. Socks: these would be blue with the bike portion of the OBC logo in white. Selling price will be around $10. -- Avery Burdett Ottawa, Ontario ------ To unsubscribe, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED], (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [email protected] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
