Blackburn Activity Wear!
As in years past we've arranged for members of 1st Blackburn to have the opportunity to order dry wick t-shirts, hoodies and pyjama/lounge pants with our group crest embroidered on them. T-Shirts are available in red, hoodies in red or black and lounge pants in plaid. This year we're also pleased to be able to offer daypacks. Please note that this is not a fundraiser -- just an opportunity to get some one-of-a-kind activewear that demonstrates pride in our Scout Group. These shirts and hoodies are also acceptable activity uniforms for Troop meetings, outings and camps. Orders must be in by Oct 31st, and payment must be made in advance (cheques can be made payable to 1st Blackburn Scout Group). I'll have samples of uncrested garments and sizes at meetings between now and then for anybody who is interested, as well as a couple of samples of the finished product. If that doesn't work, please contact me directly and we can make other arrangements. The attachment has some information regarding sizing and pricing. Lastly, please be aware that in order to place an order for an item, we must have 12 orders for that item -- any less, and we may not be able to place an order for that specific item at the price quoted (or at all).  |
