Club clothing

I have now sourced a new supplier for our club tops. The colours are almost identical to the old ones but the design is slightly different.
I plan to place an order for them on Monday 15th December, so you need to get your order in by Sunday night.
We need to order at least 18 items at a time, so if you don’t get your order in this time it could be many months before we will be able place another order.
