PONY WEB UPDATED to include options for additional kit. Some of these items HAVE actually been requested!No obligation, as ever but some points of note:
1) If you do decide you want something and ask for it to be ordered then it'll require payment upfront
2) We'll be sticking with the main pony colour colours for these items ie- black and white (maybe a touch of grey) as ordering various colours of polo shirts etc would be a complete headbouncer for a simpleton like me
3) If we do not reach a minimum quantity order for certain items then those lines can't be ordered.
4) Enjoy browsing, it may be a one off order depending on how complicated things get.

Will we have to come to some sort of agreement on what to get so we meet the minimum order. Cos if 10 people want hoodies and 10 want fleeces we aint gonna be able to get either.
Potentially that COULD be an issue. However, the "Classic items" ie Classic Tee, Classic Hoodie and also the fleece can be ordered in 1's which solves some issues......Quote:

Given the price of other brands, some of the prices are reasonable, but i appreciate times are tough economically speaking
Fellmonster, can you tell us where the pony logo will be and all that?
If the badge is sown on il probably get a tracksuit. For those cold nights when i need something to keep me warm :D
Again, that something that is not set in stone.....and may differ depending on items, but maybe we could either go top left or top middle?Quote:

Its still cheaper than like a nike tracksuit. They look pretty nice. Who is it that makes themQuote:

Samurai sports- known more for making netball and rugby gear, but I like the cut of their gib so to speak.
A favourite of mine also pudgy and the only item I don't have a price for.Quote:

A veritable sartorial treat for us all, FM. Sort of like Amex but branded?
Exactly but without the cigarette hanging from my lips
Are you doing saddleworth on sunday Fellmonster
Most unlikely sir.Quote:

Only bummer is the set up fee of £96.00 plus vat which is a big bummer....though at least we get sent the template so it shouldnt ever need done again
Does that not mean that we could embroid badges onto our vests thus saving money in the long runQuote:

I don't think so Tom......here's what I was told:Quote:

The origination is the set up of your logo as an embroidery file, and you can have this sent to you once it is made
What is the tracksuit made out of? I also like the fitted l/s tee... I assume it is cotton and not techie fabric?
Oh well. So at 15% VAT that is £2.76 plus the set up fee. We will have to split the cost between all interested people
EXCELLENT idea :DQuote:

I'd be happy to do so but we can't assume everyone else interested may be.Quote:

I did some towels once, for Fetcheveryone.com, for those of us who did the Grim challenge... just a small batch... and divided the origination cost by the number of people who wanted one. Demand was great, so I had another batch done, with the Grim 200X left off... Charged the same amount of money though, but origination costs were met, so made a minute profit for my efforts of organising it all...
OK, techie fabrics then... assuming peach microfibre is :DQuote:

Totally agreed sir, though maybe the origination fee should be divided per item rather than per person? I dunno.....just reporting the costs and implications. Best it stays simple and doesnt get too complexQuote:

That's some quality clobber that. What've you gotta do to become a Fell Pony? Is there a bizarre, arcane initiation ceremony? Do you have to be nominated by someone else? Could I be blackballed(hello!)? Is there a funny handshake I have to learn?

That sounds far too complicated. The way I understand it, to become a pony, all you have to do is make the decision that you are a pony. There's no rules, no standards, no fees, no vouching for other people before they can join. No UKA. You don't even have to have pony kit. Just take your choice and you can join the stable.Quote:

You do nothing to become a pony...its a sense of mind i think.....you do nothing, you need nothing......I just like devising different bits and bobs...you take and leave as you pleaseQuote:
