New Singlets Announcement 2017
Most of you may be aware at this
stage that Midleton AC have decided to refresh our current singlet. We are aware of some club members’
difficulties with the present singlet and have taken this on board. So we have been doing some background work in
researching and speaking to various distributors of running gear and fellow
runners from various clubs. From our
research we have selected, tentatively, to run, excuse the pun, with a company
called Inverse.
This is a major decision the club
is taking and one which will have long term effects if we do not select the
right singlet. Therefore to ensure that I
am not hounded out of Midleton by a lynch mob, if members are unhappy with the
new singlet, I urge you to become involve.
First of all by reviewing the
accompanying photos modelled by some of our Vogue models (fellow club members). Secondly, if you would like to try a singlet
on, you are welcomed to do so. They will
be at speed training next Monday 03 July
only for you to feel and try on.
Please note they are only samples
from the company, not representing the design chosen by the club, prototype
photo attached. We have a mixture of
samples, female and male, from XXL to XS with round and V necks. A word of warning, these sizes are much
smaller that the singlets we are currently wearing so don’t be offended if you
try on a medium and it’s a little tight. Others who tried them on last night
had to go up either one or two sizes, so you haven’t put on weight!!
Overall most members, at speed
training last night, loved the new lightweight material though some expressed
concerns about the length, a little on the short size i.e. they just stop below
the hip. I am conscious that some
runners may not like that style. If we
find it is a deal breaker then we may have to look for another supplier as I
think, until confirmed, this is the only length the company does.
As you cannot make any comments on
the blog please feel free to text me or Facebook/What’s App message me with
your observations. You can also let
others in the committee aware of your opinions as well. All our welcomed but remember we are not
going to be able to satisfy everyone’s taste and the majority consensus will
prevail. I will probably have the sample
singlets for another week or so, so there is a short window for you to voice
your opinion(s).
As I mentioned, at the beginning,
this is a both an exciting and nervous step your club is taking and hopefully it
will all go well so that we can move on to other new stylist gear e.g. light
jackets, but we cannot do it without your help.
Remember it very important
you become involved. Your club needs YOU!
