[Chester LUG] LUG social reminder and t-shirts

Thu Jul 26 13:32:22 UTC 2012

Now we could get basic t-shirts made up with prints, but we could also have nicer polo shirts with an embroidered logo. These would last longer and be more suitable for everyday wear, rather than a t-shirt for the event.

I'd like to collect money tonight from anyone interested so we can get them done in time, or if you can't make it you can always Paypal it over. For those of you who are further away, I'm happy to discuss popping them in the post.
