Sorry to post this here fellas but were all the tshirts that went on sale May 28 mailed out?  I got my order in that day and a Paypal receipt so am assuming it's being honored.  I did send an email to the "admin" address but haven't heard back yet - an info appreciated and sorry again.

On the branch front, NYC is working on it...   :)

Graham, I received an email over a month ago about a South African branch with the email address of the member who's idea it was to start it. I emailed him but never heard back. Do you know if any progress was made with that one?

Broke my bankcard and am awaiting new one before I join. Very impressed so far with the people doing their bit.I'm trying to do my bit, sending letters, trying to educate when I can.
It actually makes you fell Soooooooo much better doing something than sitting on your hands and waiting for news.
if you haven't already done it, get the letters writ right nigh!!!

I'm from Belfast but live in Donegal and am very aappy to help organise a branch in Donegal which has loads and loads of big reds?

right all,

after our hardworking and sometimes overstretched Secretary Graham and his admin team has now got all the paperwork in place   ... the green light has now been given for new branches

can interested parties add their intentions here and where your subscribing from and also whether you may like to garner enough support to start your one or join one thats in the process of being set up

at the moment  i believe New Zealand , Birmingham , London ,Dubai and Skem  may be the first wave of offshoots

I'm hopeful Graham can confirm any others pending so what are you waiting for .... which branch would you be affiliated too ?   :thumbup

good luck


secretary@spiritofshankly.com

Hiya Roy, we are in touch with Graham, because neither the SoS payment system nor Paypal works in several of our (ex-jugo) regions..we have several hundreds of members of our (unofficial) Balkan REDS clubs scattered around this region...and have asked Graham about "collective transfer" so..there is a definite commitment here to have a "Balkan REDS SoS" ( ooops..what would Toto make of that?!) :)
