What do we want? New shirts...
BUG BLOG headquarters has received some correspondence - as follows:
"Could the new BUG shirts be fast tracked please as we have been talking about shirts for at least 2 years. Whatever the group comes up with, I want one! One of my existing shirts has a hole in it and the other one hopelessly faded and shapeless.... My size is M and I wear long sleeves." Kay.
As many of the BUG members know, the BUG has been talking new shirts for a while now. (Longer than I realised actually, if it's been two years!). The good news is, there has been significant progress. Ian did a lot of research into pricing through various suppliers, and we are have now made the decision to get the shirts done through Hot Designs, who offer the best pricing for a relatively small order of shirts. (Including no set-up fee).
At the October meeting Ian advised that Hot Designs can do long sleeve shirts. A price chart was obtained from them – the more shirts ordered, the lower the cost. 21 – 30 shirts cost $79.50 each. Dale provided feedback from member survey about shirts. Following discussion about shirt design and logo it was decided to work around the current logo and change the shirt design.
A few members went away and worked on designs or ideas for designs.
Here is an excerpt from the December '07 meeting minutes:
Considerable discussion ensued about the designs submitted to date and it was agreed that all had merit. John discussed the graphic design idea and US Internet angle. After much discussion it was decided that Rick’s concept was the one that should be pursued, though more brightness was required. Thanks were expressed for the work of Wendy, Jim and John’s designer (Julie Mozsny).
Plan: Wally to ask Rick to provide variation ideas that could be viewed pre the February meeting.
I gather Rick has done some work on this and so perhaps we could arrange to post them here on the blog for comment (and to at least show that we are nearly there!)
So, hopefully, Kay, we'll be seeing new shirts soon. Given the outlay involved per shirt, and the intention for them to last for quite a few years, we want to be happy with the design.

As a reasonably new BUG member, I too am interested in the new shirts. I feel a bit out of it when I turn up in my old T-shirts and everyone else is wearing "proper" gear.
