OVAS Golf Shirts available for order!

[Hookup]

Please do not think that this idea will never work. 

I think it was one of the very many things that this years executive has done which is both creative and new for our club and I believe that even though the time may not have been right, it is a solid idea we should continue to feel-out and promote again.

I'm not sure of the financial state of the club, but is there a way to have the club buy the shirts and then sell them off over time?  I recognize that we will likely have some shirts left over due to wrong sizes, etc... but over time that would be a wash as more orders were placed and sold... maybe.

I am guessing the budget is too small for that this year, but maybe in future years it is something that could be considered.

Perhaps the price was too high? Or people prefer T-shirts? Or people are just not interested in wearing the "OVAS" brand?

Kind of a combination of all 3 for me.  Objectively, $30 isn't a bad price for a decent golf shirt, but a golf shirt doesn't hold any higher value to me than a t-shirt does.  And in general, I'm just not a big wearer of "pure" branded shirts (ie: the only feature on the shirt is the branding) and generally stick to "event" shirts or shirts with an interesting design that are also branded.

Perhaps someone with some artistic talent could come up with a handful of designs to cover the different kinds of aquarium keeping that incorporate the OVAS branding, or put the design on the back and the OVAS branding on the front in the same position as it was for the golf shirt?

I could probably toss out some ideas (some reasonably original, some not so much like "Kiss my Wrasse"), but I have no artistic talent to follow through

Just seems bizarre to me that about 30 cottage owners on a private road can pull this off every couple of years and actually make a few bucks but OVAS and its membership can't even do it once and break even.

Seriously, members should step up here and support their club!

30$ is nothing compared to the money most of us spend on this hobby. And this if for your own club not some random charity. I'm starting to get a little ticked off at people not stepping up to the plate when needed.

Man up people, buy a membership card, buy a t-shirt and support your club. The advice we get here is invaluable and the people around here are great. It's a no brainer.

Thousands of people on the forum yet less than 100 members and 4 people outside of the exec buying a shirt? COME ON, ENOUGH WITH THE FREELOADING.

Alright, my rant is done 

[bizfromqc]

I forgot to mention that I'd like to thank everyone who tried to make this happen.

It was a great idea, too bad not enough people jumped on board. That being said. if it ever goes again, rest assured that I will be putting in an another order

+1 to both post so really +2 lol

[Hookup]

wow BT ... I do like the idea of a graphic tee shirt design... I too do not want to wear a shirt with "bob's garage" or any other logo on it like that...  Its just not for me...  I have several work logo shirts that never get worn unless im painting walls or something equally messy where the shirt is destined for the bin after...

but a graphic tee shirt i'd be into...  I really like that idea... assuming the design "did it for me".


Pretty cool spin on this concept... guess someone would have to determine if the primary goal was club advertising, money raising or simply just another aspect of the club to guide the process...

not intending to step on toes, just jumping on board with BT's suggestion of graphic tee's... assuming price was also right...

Here's an approximation of what it would look like, based on the manufacturer catalogue description and picture, plus a superimposed picture of the OVAS logo and club name.  Gives you an idea.

They are Navy Blue, i`m not sure about delivering, you are much better sending your location via PM & perhaps one of the Execs may be close to you where you can pick it up & pay via cash.
Regards

[brotherluv]

I've got someone to pick it up for me so I can send a cheque or email money transfer to  someone if we get enough people to order one...

[charlie]

A limited amount will be available for purchase @ the BBQ this Sunday, be the first to get one & proudly display your support for the best aquatic club in the Ottawa & Valley.
