G'day. I read and re-read Sabie's original posts, and my immediate response was to shake my head.
I have only been an OzSTOC member for little over a yearn and 8mths and in this time I have felt like I'm part of the bigger Family that is OzSTOC.
I have no problems with the process that has been carried out that has been concluded to a new shirt.
I personally have no problem with making sure the costs are covered to supply it, if a member, any member devotes the time and effort, and utilizes their own business and staff to source, supply and retro fit the OzSTOC embroidery patch and our names, then they should be compensated for the work done by their staff.
Its my opinion if an OzSTOC member is doing things that can either make Farkle additions easier, maintenance a breeze, or as the shirt does,help combine all that is OzSTOC to be inclusive and Identifiable, they should.nt be out of pocket. and if there was a little profit made so be it, they deserve to have their effort rewarded.
As a social group of like minded people my understanding is we get in do stuff to help each other and enjoy a cohesive group.
STreak you should be applauded for your efforts in getting OzSTOC to where it is, and I am happy to an amount over and above cost to compensate the efforts you and others involved have applied.I certainly dont see your effort as a profit making venture as being your motivation.
If my post here is missing some other point. I'll blame it on my meds...
