Dear Members,

Apologies for flooding your inbox today, however I'd like to make it up to you by advising you that there is now, finally, a range of PHRC branded merchandise available for you to purchase.

http://www.pontoonsports.com/component/option,com_virtuemart/page,shop.browse/category_id,172/Itemid,41/

These items can be viewed and purchased online directly through the manufacturer - Pontoon Sports.  The Pontoon website is set up to enable you to personally place your own orders!

Please note that we (the PHRC committee) will continue to try to keep a small selection of zooties and hats on hand for immediate purchase by new members (although we've currently run out of a lot of the mens' sizes).  However with regards to these additional merchandise items, unfortunately it is not financially or administratively feasible for us to keep these in stock.  

The Pontoon website is fairly self explanatory.  Their current ordering window closes on 15th of September with deliveries expected within 4 weeks of this date.  Obviously this is cutting it very fine for you to have your merchandise ready in time for Worlds, so if this is something you are keen on I would suggest that you contact Pontoon directly to inform them as such.

Please note that the tshirt we intend to produce for World Masters 2009 is separate to this merchandise.  More details to follow on this in the next week or so.

I appreciate that people may wish to see additional merchandise items added to the range, and whilst I'm happy to take suggestions I do ask you to keep in mind the fact that as a club we've been without any proper merchandise for at least five years; it's impossible to satisfy absolutely everyone's wishes; and it has taken in excess of 8 months worth of iterations to finalise what is now being made available to you!

So:

Suggestions and/or complaints regarding the merchandise items themselves can be directed towards me.

Queries regarding actually purchasing and receiving orders should be directed towards Pontoon (contact details available on their website)


ENJOY!!!!!
