Club Uniform Order Now Open




Hi All,

Here's the information on our much awaited club uniform order.

We have maintained our fantastic colours for this order and are offering our new club shirts, Men’s and Women’s Tri Suits, Ladies 1 Piece swimmers and Men’s swimmers. We hope this covers most of your training and racing needs.

The women’s version of the Tri Suit and the one piece are lined.

Following your feedback from our previous club shirt order we have asked Cannibal to increase the arm size a little on the women’s version.

Attached:

1. Size Chart: It is important to measure yourself and check sizes against this chart. Cannibal pattern makers revised their sizing measurements earlier this year.

Club Gear Q&A:



Q: What do the club uniform items look like?

A: Most of you have seen the new club shirts and the men’s swimmers. Images of the other items can be viewed as you place your online order.



Q: Who is our supplier?

A: Our suppliers are Cannibal.



Q: Can I try items on to see what size I am?

A: Sorry no.



Q: Is there more info on items?

A: Yes. Refer Cannibal website www.cannibal.com.au for more detailed description.



Q: How do I know what size to order?

A: We recommend you measure yourself, check the attached size chart and then order relevant sizing. Don't guess. Cannibal pattern makers have recently revised their size chart to ensure their chart is as accurate as possible.



Q: What if I order and it doesn't fit?

A: Happy to advertise the item for re sale in the E News on your behalf.



Q: If I don't order now can I get what I want later?

A: No guarantee. If the minimum order numbers of an item are obtained, that's all we get.



Q: Why doesn't the club hold uniform stocks?

A: A number of reasons including deterioration in our climate, storage, administration, cost to the club and the volunteer time involved.



Q: Why do I have to pay up front?

A: Uniform order is a voluntary service to members & experience tells us this is the easiest way to manage. The club also has to pay up front before delivery.


Q: If I don't order now, when will the next order be done?

A: Not known.


Q: How much profit does the club make on this?

A: Zero. The club also subsidises the freight & design costs to ensure members get quality club gear at the lowest possible cost.



Q: Why is the closing date Sunday 9 October 2011 at 8pm?

A: We have been advertising for some time that a uniform order was about to happen. To assist the uniform order volunteer, please get your orders in asap, today would be fantastic!

Q: How do I order?

A: Order online https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?ID=4795


Q: What if minimum order numbers are not reached?

A: If order numbers are not at or close to minimum, your payment will be refunded.



Q: What is the turnaround time for delivery?

A: Allow about 4 weeks from placement of order.



We hope you will all take advantage of this opportunity to order quality club design gear.




Cheers,
Robyn
