Just a note, I got one of the tee-shirts last year, and do wear it now and again - but its an odd shape, its hard to explain after being away on a stag for 3 days, but its a TINY bit narrow and a TINY fraction short compared to my many other size L running tops. Maybe its just mine?
So Kurt, you should confirm that they are indeed standard L sizes??
re: Why Boards AC folded, I joined right at the end of its existence, and basically it came down to the fact we could not match what other clubs offer, and everything Boards AC could give, folks could get for free here. Where if they joined "bricks and mortar" clubs, they got a lot more value.
A number of folks, like me, wear the singlet now and again [like a few of us did pacing DCM] - I dont need to pay subs to show respect

Kurt thanks for organising this.
Can I respectfully suggest that if boards AC is no more, the new tops could be altered to boards.ie (i.e. replace the "AC" on the top with ".ie"). It might even direct more traffic to the site.
Just a suggestion, I'm in either way!
Hi wrstan,
We'd need a whole plethora of legal permissions to use "Baords.ie" on any tops. This was explored when Woddle originally came up with the logo. Even though these tops aren't a profit-making venture, its still a legal issue and best avoided. (Permission was given for "Boards AC").
And- more importantly- Boards AC still exists! There are still BAC teams that enter races (it just means BAC can't enter AAI races, like track, XC, NC's, etc). IMRA and BHAA still fields teams from BAC, there's nothing to stop runners entering "Boards AC" as their team in most road races, and I spotted a BAC team in the Dublin Marathon team results!
Part of the reason I decided to see if we could get enough numbers for a 2nd order was from the reaction I got from running the Dublin Marathon in a BAC top. I got loads of shouts "Go on Boards!", and its a great icebreaker for meeting fellow members of this forum, before and after races. I had been getting a bit bit cranky on this forum lately, but getting all those shouts and meeting so many Boardies at the marathon reminded me what it what its all about. Hence this penance

The Boards AC top is a great way of being able to spot people at races, or even in the pub after. Saw a couple of messages from the novices thread where people had turned up at McGrattans but didn't spot any boardsies there. There were loads of us there throughout the pub, but unless you are confident of asking people "Are you from the internet?" it can result in embarrassing situations so the Boards AC top is a great way of spotting people. (The other option is to have a photo of yourself posted so much that everyone recognises you. ) 0 -

This very thing happened to me...my hunch was that the noisy bunch in the middle of McGrattans were boardsies but I was too tired to start explaining myself if I was wrong..if I had seen the boards top I would have said hello 0 -

Imagine my disappointment when I figured out you were the only one from that photo in McGrattans 0 -

Essentially everyone in McGrattans was a boardsie.
My friends from the UK, who have no idea what boards is but I'd arranged to meet there, were found chatting to TRR and Shels when I arrived. I then also had to explain about that photo when people came up regonising me because of it. Now that can result in an awkward conversation if you're not careful "Well, there this picture on the internet of a couple of Brazillians ..." :eek:
