'Amalgamated Construction' provides specialist multi-discipline engineering services throughout the UK.... obviously a perfect match!



In light of our various new sponsors this year we need ALL club members to hand their existing match shirt (current style only) to their respective Captain or a Club Official, in order that we can send them to JMS Stitch & Print to have the new sponsors logos added before the season starts.

The Club will be paying all costs incurred.

The deadline for collection is 28th August 2010 !! After this point it will be the responsibility of the member to take their shirt down to JMS Stitch & Print in person.

All you have to do is come to training and hand your shirt in, or track down your Captain and give it to them.

All Printed shirts will then be handed back out on Club Day.

Anyone who doesnt already have a current club shirt should have one.... so please either pop in to the JMS Stich and Print Shop in person at 22 Monmouth Place, Bath, BA1 2AY, or visit http://www.jmsstitchandprint.co.uk/

New shirts will only be £20 this year and will come printed with the new sponsors already... so grab yourself a bargain!
