SOCIETY MERCHANDISE

Following consultation with members at the Annual Conference, and discussion in committee, the Society has entered into an agreement with Kevin Haldon, of FantasyPrints, to offer access to an online shop for use by Society Members. He will be offering a range of goods (lightweight fleece, gilet, polo shirt and teeshirt) sporting the Society Logo on the left breast, and all available in green, black and royal blue. For an additional cost of £2.80 per item it will be possible to personalise the items with your own name embroidered on the right breast. We are also exploring options for the production of a Society tie. You can access the shop by clicking on this link:
