well after a few technical difficulties, the kit order is now open.  you can access it via the menu below the header (team kit – cannibal), via the link here or the “visit the shop” link that appears after you login.

it was interesting to see the discussion about whether membership was a prerequisite for kit ownership.  my opinion is….well my opinion doesn’t really matter.  i put up some points for both sides of the argument and some people expanded on these points quite passionately.  it’s always a worry when mrs prez decides to weigh in on a discussion but you can see that people feel strongly about it. 

so, what are we going to do.  nothing.  there are valid points for both sides of the argument and i think that the club can basically set it’s own expectations without forcing people one way or another.  the general consensus is that you should be a member to wear the kit.  some people said that they would not dream of wearing it without being a member.  well now they can get both a new kit and join up as a member.

at the end of the day people want to feel like they belong to something.  this is why we have been the fastest growing and biggest club in perth (cycling australia affiliated road club).  we have given something for people to belong to and i feel that most people get something out of what we do.  so, no, we are not going to force people to join the club but we would strongly encourage people to consider it as then they can truly feel like they are part of something.

orders are taken though the site and you will need to login or register on the website before you can purchase.  once your cart is full, you will proceed to payment via paypal.  this allows you to pay buy either a credit card or your own paypal account.

this is the summer kit order and as such jackets and long sleeve jerseys are not available.  the arm warmers that are on the ordering page are summer arms only and are not the roubaix lined winter ones.  we will do a winter order in march before the cold winds start a blowin’.
