Well as none of you planned to acually buy anything and just use them to try their LG gear on before ordering off here sounds like you got what you deserve, so chin up gang eh....
Maybe after we can all go to Sweatshop, have a free gait analysis, try on several pairs of trainers and then order of the internet instead and moan about the price in the store.
Now theres an idea
FF, your assumption is incorrect I spent £90 on various bits and pieces. Including a new saddle which is what I actually wanted advice on.
Oh really sorry, When i said "none of you" i meant none of you except Duda who bought £90 of bits and pieces but still didn't like the service at Evans.
Better?

Actually i did have my credit card on me and if one of the assistants had said "look here we have something shiny, it will make you go faster" I would have bought it.
But they were too busy talking to themselves so they lost the chance to fleece me.
I certainly didn't drive 90 miles JUST to try on gear.
size might be a great starting point
Much better thanks you FF
. leaving now before I upset any one else .
It does beg the question (I'll take the flak) with regards those *insert minimum number of posts* ... who have a handful of posts to their name and appear just to order kit, what is the best way to ensure best commitment from them ??
Should we be more selective on who has kit or does that go against the ethos of PSOF, we dont have rules and regulations or committee and meetings and what have yet once something is 'established' then it becomes an unwritten rule and thats when feathers are ruffled.
My personal opinion is that you get out what you put in, sure you can race in pirate colours and get the 'go pirate' but until you get yourself involved with the PSOF then it wont mean anything more than a random person shouting your name because its written on your number
Indeed Max ...
Richard, well done and welcome
Welcome Richard
Richard there are a few that have done it in the past so not beyond the realms of possibility for 2015, the ship I believe will be sailing to Europe again for the 10th anniversary
Without causing an almighty row Melds I can't see how it can be regulated, look at the vast amount of opinions Fegans race team generated.
No exactly FF ... thats why I clarified at the end ... I suppose the regulation is the commitment and participation or you become just a person in black and yellow getting an empty 'go pirate'
Put some time and effort in to the community and *then* it means something
*toddles back off to the rugger*
Living outside of the UK does put a crimp in my participation Meldy. And now that I can't do any more IMs that's doubly so. I am entered in Challenge Weymouth half though so will be in Blighty at least once this year! Planning on getting there a couple of days early so I can get reacquainted with the sea - never done a race with a sea swim so keeping up the pirate tradition of something new on race day!
Ironwolf, I meant in the way that you and others post and get involved even in a virtual way .....it is still involvement

Goon Medium,
Over the past four years there has been an annual order where the thread was running for nine months alongside other social media i.e. Facebook. Following discussions with others it was suggested to put the emphasis back to the forum and have the thread open for one month only. This would have put the onus back on the person ordering kit to come back to the forum.
I understand the need for this emergency order, but a couple of days ago it was suggested that kit orders could be placed on an ad-hoc basis which I feel widens the availability of kit
The question is - who decides who is eligible? Seems to me that the 'rules' are rather fluid and changed at will to suit some people anyway -for example I'm sure it used to be a 'rule' that where the ship was sailing was always decided at Bala and you had to be there to have a say? That seems to have changed in the last couple of years.
LMH I think it was more who got home first to start the thread made the decision ... back in the days before wifi
Schmunks, I agree that that would widen the availability of kit, I am not sure that the availability is the issue rather than the distribution which brings me back to my earlier point, and I also agree with LMH (and others) we were never ones for rules .... that said, life is full of rules both written and unwritten, may be they are guidelines, may be they change every now and then to suit ..... may be we just make it up as we go along because it works
Either way, it is good to have these discussions or it all gets a bit staid
