For those of you who have either read the minutes from the August committee meeting or were at the social evening at the end of September, you'll be aware that we've been searching out a new kit supplier. Velotec have provided our kit for the past 18 months and whilst they provided us with a great design, transactions with them haven't been the smoothest - we've had incorrect orders, the order sent to the wrong address and the sizing on the latest batch of kit didn't seem to follow any particular UK, European or other sizing standard!
We've been looking for a new supplier since the end of August and have settled on Champion System UK. They came recommended by @Stephanie and have the following going for them:
they're UK based (Velotec were based in Eire)
the kit is of good quality, as those who were at the social last week and examined the sample pack will attest
the provide a wide range of items in both male and female sizes
they provide an online ordering and payment service so we can wave goodbye to paper forms and messing about dropping cash and cheques off
best of all, the minimum order is 10, but unlike Velotec and other suppliers this does not have to be 10 of the same item. As long as we're ordering 10 of a mix something, eg 5 winter jackets, 3 gilets and 2 jerseys then we have an order.
Our current kit design has been sent off to Champion System and they will produce it in their software ready for printing the gear. Once that is done we're ready to order our winter gear. Based on the responses to the winter kit post, we have enough interest to open an order window as soon as the designs are ready, so please watch this space!
