I'll take 10 to start, may be able to take a few more if you need to make up number.

I will also take ticket holders as well

As Purdu says, I'd take a couple (as long as they were a bit grubby).

We could do with 10 of them. Lanyards and ticket holders.

I've had some quotes back and some samples are on there way.  So I hope I'll have the samples for the Reading Planning meeting on Friday.

The most promising at the moment  looks like a Double sided Woven Lanyard from the place Rick suggested.
I think they would look good double sided.  They would have ticket holders too.  Since puting the date on would limit the shelf life of the lanyard it may be better to go for say the  Logo and "www.clubarnage.com"

To get the price reasonable  I'd need to get at least 200.  That's going to set me back £500.   So far people have indicated they would take 48 plus I will Make the members of my group buy one so that's going to take it over the half way mark to 100.   

Now there are a couple of questions I think we need to answer. 

Termietermite mentioned selling via RLM but do we want that?   
My thought here. They should only be available to those with a connection to Club Arnage.
If we do go for selling to Joe Public then I think we need to get agreement from Grand Fromage.   
In fact I think I need to do that anyway.  After all it's his Copyright/Trademark etc.

Now I don't think anyone wants me to be out of pocket on this.  So are any of you willing to help underwrite any losses?

One thing we could do is pay say £3.50 then I'd break even at about 140. That may be doable and it still a fair bit cheaper than the cheap ones you see on the stalls around the circuit.  Then any profit £200 if we sell out could be used to help fund the site upgrade as Termietermite suggested earlier.

Given the rather late idea I think I have to finalise this and place the order Monday. 

The other big problem is the distribution.   I think at this late stage it would have to be done at the Campsites or Circuit so we may need some distributors in the other camp sites.

I'd happily pay say £3.50 each for us if that helps to make it do-able.

I'd go for "no year" so that they don't expire come June, I also agree with keeping them within ourselves rather than flogging them through RLM.  I'd be happy to wander round say the DfH party bullying persuading folks to buy them.   Presumably any ultimate profit will either provide a float to allow us to buy more next year or go to Doris' charity?

It was just an "off the top of my head" thought at the time as I could see you shelling out quite a bit and ending up with a deficit.   But £3.50 to members only sounds better to me.  I still think it would be a good fundraiser for the site though, on the off-chance you have anything left over- no offence to Doris's charity of course, I'm sure a few squids will come your way too, D!

Exclusivity rules OK

I'd take two IF they are Yearless, and bear the CA logo.

I agree the proceeds to go to where ever you like. Doris, I'm sure you can find another way to make ME pay again this year Cool !

So next, do we have time for you to organise CA shorts for us blokes and maybe thongs for the girls ladies?

 Wink

OK OK only joking, sort of...

But yes please two at £3.50

You can put me down for 2 but might be able to go up to 6.  Will we be able to stump up readies at MB or what?

I think this thread makes clear that Grand Fromage should start thinking about CA merchandise, at least for next year. It's clear that we like our CA logo and many of us are willing to spend some money on CA-branded items, see t-shirts, this thread about ticket holders and I'm sure CA hats would find some buyers too.

For this year (or the next year) I would suggest:

-pre order / pre-payment until a set date
-get these things made, but only the pre-paid amount
-distribution at the track via RLM shop, pick-up showing some ID ( I think anything else is too complicated)

Price calculation: Manufactoring costs + RLM handling fee + CA website maintenance fee (or so)


I'm not sure whether it's not already too late for this now, may be we should bear it in mind for 2008
