[Reclaimmayday] Fwd: Re: T-Shirts

[anna at phonecoop.coop]

I've made contact with a local printer who specialises 
ethically-produced T-shirts. Have asked for some prices and also 
whether they'd do some of the printing on T-shirts supplied by us. 
Have done it on the assumption that we'd supply finished artwork.

Hope that's OK with everyone. I haven't remotely committed us to 
anything but have said that we're in a bit of a hurry!

Anna
