Okay lets say if took the VW Logo printed it on some shirts and sold it to the guys here, will it be a problem with the committee?

I hear you and the same applies.

We have official shirts for the whole club - there is nothing wring with co-ordinating this with comm and supplying shirts in DBN that have been approved by comm, with the VW Club SA logo.

Like I said, we would be more than happy to have a representative from DBN. PM G-Spot to co-ordinate.

Firstly, the dubrun shirt is not a club shirt, it is made for the purpose of dubrun. and since you are not join dubrun it shouldnt bother you. Also R180.00 for a shirt is not THAT expense. Anywhere you go to get shirts will cost in that region. And I am pretty sure you dont go get you Levi shirt made at the local printing shop just to save a couple bucks. Dont be so cheap! You are not only buying yourself a shirt that you can be proud of but you are supporting a club you belong too. Thats if you see yourself as apart of the club?

Remember this is a non-profit organisation, so telling them they are ripping ppl off over a couple shirts is pointless as it doesnt at the end of the day benefit any individuals pocket. Shirts might make a profit but I can almost guarantee that it is minimal and is just utilised to keep this forum up and running. Or did you think some nice old man pays for the running cost of this toylet just so cheap little shits like you and me can play big boy behind a keyboard. I dont think so.

Like I initial said, I am not saying dont do it. I just shared a feeling and my 2c. Thats all.

let me ease your mind.

First off, the reason why i offered and that's all offered not insisted, i offered out of the goodness of my heart and i felt the guys would appreciate that someone was looking out for them. I guess you do not know the pricing of what it actually cost to buy a t-shirts and print on it. Does that not show that i see myself as part of the club?

Bud I do know what the cost is. The company I work for has a subsidary that supplies the likes of Mr Price so I have looked into getting shirts made. And yes it cost a great deal less to make your own.

Secondly, was i talking about a levis t-shirt made locally?i don't recall that! I'm comparing apples with apples not banana's. If someone can get you the same quality with the same design, why not go for it?are these "commitee members" going to vw in germany to make these t-shirts? So don't be so clever!

Thanks for that captain obvious. Point I am making is that shirts these days cost in the R150+ mark. So it isnt overly expensive. Just because you can get it cheaper does not change the market price of shirts these days.

Thirdly, you and everyone else needs to realise that even though everyone in SA falls under "VWclub" umbrella, ask yourself where does most of the "VWclub" events take place?how often does the VWclub have an event in durban? And i mean proper event. I'm sure the commitee will not stop us from using the name as long as it used in the correct manner n reasons. We are a branch off the club- the durban branch

Bud, this has been discussed among durban guys to death. The VWCSA is a joburg based club. We have been trying for the last 3-4 years to get the club up and going but it is not that easy. Either way this is off topic. Like I said Dazza will get back to me about the use of their designs. But dont get you hopes up.

Fourth, if you look at the thread you was reading and got all up tight about. The guys that replied said its ok if the club makes money off them, and i quote "how else will the club make money".my issue that arose is that this club should be for the members by the members and not for the club by the commitee. So we should be able to give each other the best possible options at the end of the day.how do you know which individual it's benefits o not?

Yes the club makes money. From shirts etc. But if you actually think about how much money it takes to run the club. And I am not talking just about keeping the forum running( because this site is not free). But think about the cost of hiring a track for the day which for the likes of the big Z is like R20000.00 which is paid up front and recupturated from entry fees.

Lastly, like i said when i started this thread. It's a suggestion for us dbn guys to make some nice shirts that we can use to where ever we wanted to and it so happened that it could work out much cheaper. What does shirts got to do with the operation of this site?

P.s i can't believe you and all the other rich guys are giving me so much of crap about trying to save you guys some money! Damn

You dont know me so dont make a stupid comment like that.
i guess i will only help other cheap o poor people like me in future.

Grant, this is exactly want I have been trying to say. There has to be uniformity. Imagine the Guateng guys coming down wear X design and meet us Dbn guys at Hooters while we are wearing a totally diff design. Would look rather silly imo.

If guys want to get shirts made, why not? but dont try adapt it to official club gear when it isnt.
