Just a suggestion
« on: March 05, 2007, 11:11:42 AM »
I had a thought over the weekend and as the wife will tell you i dont get many of them ( well good ones anyway).

My thought is this ...  would'nt it be nice if COL had a material badge of some decription that pepole could stich onto an item of clothing.  This would advertise the site and let us the members feel part of this club (not that we dont anyway).

I understand there would be a cost involved but surely if the members wanted it then they would be willing to pay for it.  What i mean by this is , is if the COL team design the badge and post it on the forum then people could buy it if they wished.

Just a thought.

If it's a silly idea then i will run all my ideas past the wife before i post them.  That way i'll know that i dont sound completely mental.

Thanks   (alan)

Thats a good idea! Then at places like crufts you could spot a COL swat! A pin might be easier tho!

It's an idea which has come up before, but has never proceeded.

I think Stuey and the mods have some reservations about it, or it might just be that they don't have the time to organise it. I remember that at one time we were going to organise t-shirts, but unfortunately the member who was going to get them printed left the forum and the idea perished!

It would be good to hear what the mods etc think about this idea. Perhaps , if they are willing in theory, we could do a poll to see how many  of us would want one and how much we'd be willing to pay. I would love  some kind of badge and/or a car sticker!

I think the car sticker is a superb idea and I'd definitely order one of them.

That's the problem really Annette. We've had various ideas put forward before but when it comes to carrying them through, volunteers often fall by the wayside when it comes to the crunch ;) The Mod Team already donate a lot of their spare time to keeping COL going and most of us just don't have the free time for additional projects. I'm involved with another Club which does have merchandise available to buy (including car stickers & badges) & know that it takes quite a lot of work processing payments and then packing up & sending out orders. Another problem is the costs involved - ordering any kind of merchandise generally means an up front purchase of a fairly large quantity of items which would have to be paid for in advance with no guarantee the items would sell afterwards. Fine if you're a Club with a regular income from memberhip fees etc but COL doesn't have this (though members who kindly donate do help with the running costs of course :blink:). We're not dismissing any ideas out of hand but members need to appreciate what's involved in putting any ideas into practice.

Do you know something i always thought the COL team were very,very rich people who thought nothing of giving away there easily gained money on us the loyal members.

Somebody once told me that they never sleep and give up there holidays to tend to our every needs.

LMAO

Anyway it was just a thought.  No doubts i will have another 12 pints this weekend and come up with something else.

ps.    If i do shall i post it on poodlesonline first and see what they say.
