If anyone wants to look into this again (we all thought it was a good idea back then, and I still think it is a good idea), please liaise with intrepid and diverian to pick up the idea where they left off - artwork prepared, preferred fabric identified, etc.

Re-visiting this again.. I know diverian was looking at buffs as recently as November last year, so I'll leave that side with him.

But, if there is interest in embroidered badges/caps/sun hats, I would be prepared to co-ordinate and organise it. With Intrepid's permission and design, and provided there was enough numbers to warrant it. I don't hink this would be a huge quantity. Also, I would do it at cost price only.

(Mods, maybe a new thread?)

Thanks for all the interest, we will see what can be done. It has all come up previously, yes. The buffs potentially have a little hurdle in that the minimum order may be far greater than than the actual demand. Badges can be done in smaller batches. I did look into some design for badges previously, and ideally I'd like them to be feature something of the Berg too, not purely VE. Thanks to all that are willing to help with this, I'll be in touch.

Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.
