Hey gang,

It's that time again, we've run out of fun vouchers to buy medals and trophies.

As we think you should get something in return for supporting us, our annual _when_we_get_around_to_it_ fundraiser normally consists of selling merchandise of some sort.

The first year it was T-shirts, then it was rashies, and we still have some stickers left over from last time.

Now it's time to think of something branded with the GPS Team Challenge logo that you desperately want, and that we can sell to you with a bit of a buffer left over so we can buy medals and stuff in the off season.

Some of you were talking about another rashie run, others were keen on T-shirts, please let us know what you would like us to make this year.

The item with the most green thumbs (or in the event of a tie, the one that Hardie and I decide on) will get made and you'll be able to order it. All profits go towards buying medals and trophies for the deserving.

Thanks again for your support, we really appreciate it

wind and flat water

My rashie has a big hole in it, so I'm due a new one.
Both Tshirts are wearable but new ones would be better.
One sail sticker is defunct due to harness hook going thru it.

Basically I'll be in whatever's going.

Tshirt, couple of variations in colour, Rashie or the Rigging Jacket sounds OK.

helmets, sailing hats...

What about a collective approach to Team Captains to arrange a whiparound for a small donation. I see no reason to exclude overseas teams.

i would be in for a hoodie jumper.

I like this idea herb, combined with previously mentioned paypal account, the Internationals could be brought into the medals & cups fold.

It would be nice if the Internationals could organise their own fund raising projects, but I guess that's too complicated.

There's also the extra work and organising for Nebs and Hardie to consider, and I guess they will, (consider)

I like the idea of t shirts, it's been awhile since the first lot, makes it easy to spot other GPSTC'ers and I'd be happy with simple graphics/logo instead of sponsors all over it Rashies & hoodies are no good to me, I've never worn the last one but realise not everyone lives in the troppics

I still have your bank details so I'm happy just to donate if merchandise doesn't suit little old me

Thanks

Maybe you should of suggested a rain coat for up your way.

Yep me to.

Maybe hoodie jumpers and t-shirts then all bases covered. I would buy both

I like the polo shirt idea or sun caps.

Hoodie and T shirt for me, us southern crew have no need for a rashie as it's wetties all year round here.

I thought rashies were originally developed to go under wetties, to stop wet suit rash?????
I certainly find it more comfortable.

There's also the possibility of thermal rashies, when you need that extra heat boost.

Another thought..One of the most useful Windsurfing bits I have (had) and use every time I sail is a Cam Cleat tool for downhauling the sail. Just lost mine..

Could you brand some of those?

20 KT of any kind of wind will be nice
from march there is no wind here and no any forecast for the future, anyway i think i am goin to have stroke or something :(

with, or without shirt......
