[OSM-talk] Hi-vis vest with OpenStreetMap Logo & "Surveyor" Text

Wed May 14 15:27:27 BST 2008

Hi Folks,

Thanks again to all those who have contacted me to date, to express 
interest in the OSM printed/logo'ed Hi-Vis Vests.  I'm pleased to report 
that these are now no longer vapour-ware, as today, the full order 
arrived at my house.  Below are some photos of the finished article, 
which I have to say, have somewhat exceeded my expectations.  The print 
quality is bold and clear, and the logo has turned out rather nicely.  
See pics below (no nasty comments about my modelling abilities please!) 
:) :)

For those who have already expressed an interest and stated their sizes, 
etc, I will be sending out proforma invoices within the next 2 days 
(utilising PayPal), so payment can be completed and I can start to get 
the vests into the post.  Payment can be completed by any major credit 
card and you don't need a paypal account to complete payment.   The 
proforma invoice will contain postage cost details as well as give you 
an opportunity to supply your postal address for delivery.

If you have contacted me requesting me to reserve a vest, but no longer 
wish to purchase, please just drop me an email to let me know and ignore 
the proforma invoice.

If anybody is interested in purchasing any of the spares I have in 
stock, I still have the following quantities for sale:

1 x Small
2 x Medium
2 x XL (if you are after a large, which sold out quickly, you might like 
to consider the XL's as they are only a few inches bigger)
1 x XXL

As indicated previously, the final cost of the vests is £8.50 each + P&P 
(which I estimate to be around £2 for UK destinations).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch at "osm 
at sonicresolutions.com".

Kind regards,
Graham
