of Sat Dec 7th, starting at 6pm. The party is

decide what
to bring to the potluck based on your schedule for the evening.
Appetizers
will be served at 6pm. Dinner will be at 7:30pm and dessert around

a poor
choice :-) !)

at
all!)
Carleton Masters Team Swim Wear /
T-Shirts
Here's the latest on team swim suits and T-shirts... I've
received
quite a bit of interest and have a list of 22 suits and 15
T-shirts. If
more of you are interested, we can get a very good deal!
We get a 25% discount on the price of each
suit if
we
order 50 or more suits:
any colour, style, size from
the team
catalog: posted on the bulletin board and at
http://www.aquasport.ca/catalogues/Team2002-03.pdf.
(All the suits I listed in the last issue are on p.9. of the
catalog.)
To get:
CARLETON
MASTERS
printed on the chest of the women's suits and back of the men's
suits costs
$2.80 per suit (again, assuming 50 or more).
T-shirts are approx $8.00 (max $8.50) each if
we
order 50 or more (2 colour logo, 100% cotton, any colour, size,
see p.9 of
catalog). Kim K (Whitecaps) and
Mits (Coach) are working on the logo and we'll have it
up on
the website for you to view shortly -- it will be the same or very
similar to
the one used on the long sleeved T-shirts purchased some years
back.
There will be tax (15%) and shipping (approx. 25-50c per item) on
top of
the prices above.
If you are definitely interested (this time you
are making
a commitment), please e-mail me at
lynnmarshall@sympatico.ca
with the
following information:
For each suit: page in catalog, name of style,
catalog
code, colour and code, size, whether you want "CARLETON MASTERS" printed
or
not
Notes on sizes and material for
suits:
Polyester and nylon will last much longer than lycra.
Polyester/nylon
are ideal for training while lycra is better for racing. The only
drawback
for women is that as polyester does not give, it may chafe slightly
under the
arms or on the neck (vaseline works for me). A compromise is a
polyester
suit with elastic straps, in which case the suit lasts a long time, but
the
straps wear out quickly, but not quite as fast as lycra. The
Speedo and
Nike training suits on p.8 of the catalog have elastic trim.
Men's suits come in waist sizes (inches).
Women's are in chest sizes (inches), and the polyester
suits
come in regular and long torso sizes (e.g. 36 and 36L).
For each T-shirt: colour (white, red, forest
green, navy,
royal, ash, black), size (S/M/L/XL)
We'll proceed with the order if we get 50+ suits, and 50+
T-shirts.
Note that you will have to pay when the order is placed.
