A few people have reported problems with the screen printing on the rear of this years t-shirt. I appears the ink will wash out of the shirts, so please don't wash them together with anything else until I have it sorted.

I will contact the manufacturer in the morning to discuss the problem, I was really happy with the shirts this year, but not only has the manufacturer let me down on numbers it now appears the quality if far short of acceptable.

I apologise for this, and will hopefully has a solution to the problem shortly.

Cheers

We had a custom T-shirt made recently and we were instructed to iron it before washing it for the first time.

I have to say that the quality of the shirts, apart from the rear screen printing, is excellent. Far, far better than most low volume branded stuff.

And my jacket is brilliant

I have spoken to them, it appears the gas has run out on the machine that cures the printing, they send their apologies and are going to re run the entire batch for us.

When I have them in my hand I will wash and dry one to make sure and then post them on to you all.

They have told me to write off the ones you already have, I did think it may be worth trying the iron trick suggested above. If anyone does can you let me know how it goes.

I suppose one thing had to go wrong, the shirts will be worth it in the end

When i was helping someone with screen printing, we used to turn the shirt inside out, put a large sheet of cardboard in, and iron it then.
That should make sure it holds when you wash them.

Ironically the label in the shirts warns not to iron the printed area...

That's why you turn it inside out first, and iron the printing from the inside.

Martina and myself would like to thank everybody for the great weekend - especially Cris, Andy, Nicola and Amy for their effort to make the meet a success.

My photos are now online

Some great shots in there, looks like you were the only one to get decent shots of Patrick's laser in action. I don't mind admitting that I was hiding behind my hands when you took these shots:

Yea, I love the look on Patrick's face in the first one. Great shot!

Well, I don't know about a rubbish time, it's usually just a bit stressful until the party gets started.

Well done you guys, a brilliant weekend was had. And as an ex-organiser (for now, that is) I can say that honestly. A Grand Day Out!

Note the sheer, unmitigated glee on his face as he is setting fire to things.....

Ok, I now have all the t-shirts.

Everyone who took a shirt at the meet will be sent a new one, I will be sending them all over the next couple of days to the address that was given on sign up (Rob S I'll send yours to pca if that's ok).

They look ok (although they did last time!) but I will test one before I send any out. They are the same design, but you can wear these ones more than once

Please let me know via PM if you want it sending to a different address, but be quick!

Cheers

Cris.

Thanks all for a great weekend. I really liked the Mystery Tour and I was lucky, if I'd have gone to Manchester for other reasons than an Empeg Meet, I'd want to see Liverpool as well, an I did.
