Guy Hudson has scoped out some prices on some good quality folding lawn chairs with our Club logo. We can get 24 for just this side of $1200 which means they would have to be sold for $50 a pop. I bit pricy when you can go to Surplus Herpies, Canuck Tire, Costlow, Missed Target or other discount stores and buy a bargain basement one for $19.99
However, as can be seen by the picture, these are much nicer. Guys says that the company insists on sending out a sample for approval before they will fill an order, so he has one coming. The picture is a blue one, but they have other colour options.
The risk is that we buy a bunch of chairs that at $50, don't get sold. These are not likely to be big sellers with the "passing by" crowd who snap up our T-shirts and caps. I believe they can be sold, and have told Guy I am prepared to underwrite this, but I still would like to hedge my bets with an informal poll.
Who'd be interested? I'm in for at least two.
Peace & Grease, Dennis
