My sincere thanks to the fellow fan who has agreed to sponsor the Beach Towel and cover all costs in its production.

Their generosity means that I can now proceed with negotiations with the supplier concerning production schedules etc.

Further updates regarding delivery date of the finished item will be posted in due course.

Once again and I know I speak on behalf of all fans in this matter....a huge THANK YOU.

That's great news.

You may already have this in hand and it's only a suggestion - not wanting to complicate things, quite the opposite...

But now you have someone prepared to stand the initial outlay, you have a producer and you will soon have a design suggestion.

You could now pass those contact details (with the sponsor's approval, of course) to the club shop and let them take over the organisation of this project. They could handle orders, cash, delivery etc.

Anyway, just a thought. Towels usually take a few weeks to turn round but we'll all look out for payment details.

Well done, Neil.

Sincerely.

The club have not yet given me their permission to replicate the club's logo, so it's just a case of waiting until I'm given the green light. Here's hopng that they do as the project will be raising some money for the shop / club albeit only a small amount.

Yes , agree with all the above , well done CC

I am looking forward to purchasing a couple of them.

A mate of mine, a Brazilian lad who is a Towel salesman in Qatar is wanting to invest in your venture. I will pass his details on to you. I am predicting big things! Next stop M&S for you Mr Child!

Well done Neil. I'm away last week in October, so if you can make sure they are ready before then. Thanks!

I believe that a director is funding the initial order out of his own pocket.

Well done to him, just amazes me that we can't find funds to buy 200 towels, when there is going to be a clear return

I think if the person in question wishes to remain anonymous then we shouldn't speculate who it is ,we should just be grateful for his help to get the project up and running

I'm not speculating, and he hasn't said he wants to remain anonymous Ding, stop looking,for an argument where there isn't one.

Not wanting an argument Mr Smash , just saying we have a bad habit of trying to name people when it may not be appropriate

He isn't bothered either way, just happy to help and very open to considering good ideas , more people knowing this the better.

Thats ok then , and thanks to him for his help.

I can pay up front or a deposit if required.

Same, but 2 please.

I make that 37 towels on Facebook and 12 on here, although that would mean Gone Shrimping having 3.

Thats just about 50 before they go on sale

I will definitely buy one too.

I will have two and can guarantee another four ,

Can add at least 1/2 dozen people I know that do neither SV or FB.

Hope stocks don't dry up too quickly

I remember asking Mark Dixon about these, it must be at least 5 years ago! And his reply to me was 'there won't be enough interest'! WRONG

He was obviously referring to his own interest!
