[Reclaimmayday] Fwd: Re: T-Shirts

[anna at phonecoop.coop]

I think more than 50 would probably be too much of a risk, but I'm no 
expert. We should be able to shift some leftovers from behind the bar 
back at t'club.

I've got somewhere in the low twenties in stock - mostly 
short-sleeved, and a mixture of women's fitted and straight-sided 
men's/unisex. They're black, white, green and various shades of 
"natural", ie beige/cream. They're all fair trade and most are also 
organic. If ordering more I was thinking of getting mostly black.

Having said all that, idiosyncratic assortments of garments can work 
well if one person in the club basement is printing them with plenty 
of time, but more "professional" outfits might not be happy with it, 
especially if we're in a hurry. However, we've already decided that we 
definitely don't want to go down the 
as-cheap-as-possible-even-if-it's-from-a-sweatshop route.

Tony, I've just added you to the Facebook group.

Anna
